Em
Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
Had a drink about an hour ago
Am
Sitting in a corner by herself

B           C       B
In a bar in downtown hell

Em
She heard a noise and she looked to the door
And saw a man she'd never seen before
Am
Light skin, light blue eyes

B                   C      B
A double chin and a plastic smile

Em
Her heart raced as he walked through the door
And took an empty seat next to her at the bar
B
'My brand new car is parked right outside

Am
How'd you like to go for a ride?' And she said

Em
'Wait a minute, I have to think'
He said 'That's fine, may I please buy you a drink?'
B
One drink turned into 3 or 4

         C            B        Em
And they left and got into his car

         C              B          Em
And they drove away some place real far

Em
Now babe, the time has come
How'd you like to have a little fun? And she said
B                 C               G
'If we could only please be on our way,

            D             B
I would not run'

Em
That's when things got out of control

Em         C    Am
She didn't want to

Em     C   Am
He had his way

Em       C     Am
She said let's go

Em      C   Am
He said no way

B                      C     B
Come on babe, it's your lucky day

B                               C   B
Shut your mouth, we're gonna do it my way

B                      C  B
Come on baby, don't be afraid

B
If it wasn't for date rape, I'd never get laid
[Solo]

Em
He finished up, started the car
He turned around and drove back to the bar
Am
He said 'Now baby, don't be sad,'

B                   C            B
'In my opinion, you weren't half bad.'

Em
She picked up a rock.
Threw it at the car. Hit him in the head Now he's got a big scar
Am
Come on, party people won't you listen to me

B         C
Date rape style

Em
The next day, she went to her drawer
Looked up her local attorney-at-law
B
Went to the phone and filed a police report

Am
And then she took the guy's ass to court

Em
The day he stood in front of the judge
He screamed 'She lies, that little slut!'
B
The judge knew he was full of shit

      C          B    Em
So he gave him 25 years

            C        B           Em
And now his heart is filled with tears

Em
One night in jail, it was getting late
He was butt-raped by a large inmate
B
And he screamed

        C              G                D        B
But the guards paid no attention to his cries

Em
That's when things got out of control

Em        C Am
The moral of the
