D A

You met him at the dance hall, you only saw his charms

G D

You said he really swept you off your feet

D A

Then one night he’s drinking and jealousy enraged

G D

He knocked out two of your front teeth

D A

So you came over to hide out at my place

G D

I guess I should have killed him there and then

D A

but you begged me not to now you say he’s changed

G D

and you’re gonna go back to him

D A

Don’t give me that bull about how it’s for the children

G D

A man like that could never be a dad

D A

What happens when he kills you, what will they do then?

G D

Sometimes you ought to ask yourself that

Chorus:

G D

Don’t go back to him he’s a wife beater

A D

You’d be better off with this potato eater

G D Bm

He says he’s changed, don’t be a fool

D A D

A man like that’s no good for you

D A D

A man like that’s no good for you

Chorus
