A#mG#D#7
Moving with a tinge of grace.

A#mG#D#7
Or just another pretty face.

A#mG#D#7G#
Ainʼt nobody messing with you, but you,
A#mG#D#7
Your friends are getting most concerned.

G#Cm
Canʼt talk to you about talking to me,

Been talking a lot about less and less
A#mG#D#7
And forgetting the love we bring.
