You can hurt me but it's all right

Verse 2:

Hey now, one day ah, you will see

You'll never find a guy like me

Who'll love you right both day and night

You'll never have to worry 'cause it's all uptight

Oh, but I'm tellin' you girl and I know it's true

That I was made to love only you

But it's all right, all right girl

You can hurt me, but it's all right

Go on, yeah

[Repeat verse w/glockenspiel solo over first four lines]

Oh, oh, yeah

And you will lose the love you had

Dm Cm7/F F

Baby, you gotta gotta reap what you sow

Coda:

Bb Dm Cm Bb Dm Cm [continue]

But it's all right all right girl

You are payin' now, but it's all right

So goodbye, now, goodbye, girl

You're payin' now, say bye-bye

You hurt me once, you hurt me twice

Oh, but-a baby, that don't cut no ice

Hey, goodbye, baby [fade]
