E          A              B             A
out on the street looking good and baby deep down in your
E                 A                  B       A
heart I guess you know that it ain't right.    Now you never never

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                                   B
 But each time I tell myself that I, that I can't stand the pain,
             D                           B
but then you hold me in your arms, and I sing it once again.
       B        B        B7       B7
I sing come on, come on, come on, come on
