           G                                          D
When they say you can't love, I think you've got it wrong

          Em                        G
And they say you can't feel With a heart made of steel

          Am                         D
But you can't say that steel ain't strong

           G                                                 D
Well, if that's who you are, Just a meaningless star in the sky

          G                     Em
Tell me what is the meaning of what I am feeling

   Am                  D
If you are the reason why?

              Em                     Am
Now I may be dumb, But where I come from

                   G           D                 Am
Folks say they're fine When I know that they're blue

But you don't know you the way I do
[Verse 2] [MEGAGIRL]
               G
Your kind is frail and weak

       Em         Am       D
And I want to destroy you all

           G
You're a sorry disgrace

         Em
To the concept of race

          G                 D
And to logical science and law

         G
But for some reason why

          Em                D   A  Em
When you look at me I don't wan-na be

               Am
Programmed this way

To find someone like you (from abnormal things like you)

(When you know everything it is suddenly strange) I don't know anything

           D
(When you don't have a clue) but you're giving me a clue
[TOOTSIE AND MEGAGIRL, together]
