[Verse 1]
    A                            F#m
The southside girls told me that you were hot as fire
Bm                                            E
  And I remember every word you said when you told me I'd get burned
Bm                         E
  I said don't worry baby, I'll just live and learn


[Chorus]
                              A                                      F#m
I should have listened to the junkman. I should have listened to the junkman
                              A
I should have listened to the junkman when he sang
                       D                   Dm6             A
I should have listened to the junkman, but now I've got to pay
                      E               A7                   D
It's a sin to taste a love and lose it, hold on to it boy, don't let go
    A                                                     E
But I don't want to beg, I don't wanna beg, I don't wanna beg
                                          A                 E
I don't wanna beg, I don't wanna beg your love. Never gonna beg your love


[Verse 2]
A                                      F#m
 An English boy once said to me how he knew you just as well
Bm                                                   E
  He said you never learned our language much, but ya, knew enough to tell
         Bm                               E
That you been confusing lust with love, I think I better let you go


[Chorus]
                                 A                                         F#m

You should have listened to your junkman when he sang
                                 D            Dm6           A
You should have listened to your junkman, but now we got to pay
                      E               A7                  D
It's a sin to taste a love and lose it, hold on baby, and don't let go
    A                                                   E
Oh, I don't wanna beg, I don't wanna beg, I don't wanna beg
                                          A                   E
I don't wanna beg, I don't wanna beg your love, I don't wanna hear you beg


[Bridge]
Bm                             D                         A
  Hey, and the young girl sings, come on sweet thing, we can fly
     D         A                 E
When my man's away, I'll be your back door baby
A                 D               A                           E                Bm
 And I'll be your twilight lover, we don't need another cause we got each other, oh baby
   F#m                       D                                     Bm
We played those games, and I never thought that we'd do it, but we done it just the same
          D                                    Bm
Boy, I'll sweep away that shattered heart, the one time got away
                     B       D     N.C.                     A  A
That's the price you pay, oh baby, don't you throw my love away

 Call you on the telephone.  Oh, don't say that you're not at home
Bm                                E
  Don't act surprised and blue, Oh, you know the way you always do
