Verse 1:
Am
See the little girl lost, walkin’ through this world alone.
                        E7                              Am
She ain’t lookin’ for a lover, she’s just lookin’ for a home.

Verse 2
G                                   F                  G
If you want more than sympathy then look for something else,
                                    F          G
‘Cause she’s not true to anyone not even to herself.
            C
She’ll have sixteen smilin’ strangers who are handin’ her a line,
            G
While she’s drawin’ dirty pictures on the black side of your mind.
       D                       C                             G
With a body she’ll let anybody hold, but the devil’s got her soul.

Chorus
D                             A
But if you take her, take her easy,
          G       A           D
Treat her gentle, she used to love me.

Verse 3
Bm
See the little girl lost, pleadin’ silently for help.
               F#7                                   Bm
Knowin’ no one understands her, she don’t understand herself.

Verse 4
A                                    G                    A
She’ll feed your hungry ego ‘til you think you’re quite a man,
                                             G                   A
But you’d better count your fingers when she turns loose of your hand.
              D
‘Cause you’re just a game she’s playin’ any way that she can win,
        A
And you ain’t about to touch her any deeper than her skin,
        E                   D                             A
In that body anybody can control, but the devil’s got her soul.

Chorus
E                             B7
But if you take her, take her easy,
          A       B7          E
Treat her gentle, she used to love me.
