Verse 1:

G#m C#m [Em Am]

I hate to say it but I told you so

G#m C#m [Em Am]

Don't mind my preaching to you

G#m C#m B [Em Am G]

I said "don't trust him", baby, now you know

E A B E [C F G C]

You don't learn everything there is to know in school

Wouldn't believe me when I gave advice

I said that he was a tease

If you want help you better ask me nice

So be sincere, convince me with a "pretty please"

F# B [D G]

Laugh Laugh, I thought I'd die

E A [C F]

It seemed so funny to me,

D G [Bb Eb]

Laugh Laugh, you met a guy

C B [Ab G]

who taught you how it feels to be

E A E A E A E A [C F C F]

Lonely, oh so lonely

Verse 2:

Don't think I'm being funny when I say

You got just what you deserve

I can't help feeling you found out today

You thought you were too good you had a lot of nerve

Won't say I'm sorry for the things I said

I'm glad he packed up to go

You kept on bragging he was yours instead

Found you don't know everything there is to know

Instrumental break [play 2X]:

Verse 3:

Before I go I'd like to say one thing

Don't close your ears to me

Take my advice and you'll find out that being

Just another girl won't cause you misery

You say you can get any boy at your call

Don't be so smug or else

You'll find you can't get any boy at all

You'll wind up an old lady sitting on the shelf

Coda (original 45 fades out; most CD reissues end cold on E):

Lonely, oh so lonely
