G
Well I knew she belonged to someone else at the time
                               D7
But lonely lookin' women are a weakness of mine

So I bought all she said about the love he never gave her

And figured I just love her some and do us both a favor

     G
Just as I got up to leave he walked through the door
                      G7         C
And I guess I thought he'd be surprised
       D7
But he looked at me as if to say he's been there before

And he offered me these words to the wise

Chorus:
G
He said you know she's a cheater son

But you believe that you're the one
                                    D7
Who's got a lot of what it takes to change her

And I've no doubt that you can get her

You ain't much but that don't matter
                                G
Nothing suits her better than a stranger

And the stranger man the better

And the chances are she'll set her
                     G7            C
Eyes on you the next time she goes slumming
   D7
So you sit back and wait your turn boy

You got lots of time to learn boy
                                  G
Cool it while you can your time's coming


Well it happens that in time it happened just like he said
                                       D7
And soon enough her shoes were setting under my bed

And I'll confess I did my best to prove that man had lied

But nothing short of suicide could keep her satisfied

         G
So buddy losing her to you was just a matter of time
                              G7        C
And it's her time for finding something new
  D7
Nothing I can say is gonna make you change your mind

So I'll just give the same advice to you

Repeat Chorus:

       D7                                      G
I said cool it while you can cause your time's coming
