   All I'm askin'    is for a little
    C7                                     F7

[Verse 2]
I ain't gonna do you wrong    while you're gone
I ain't gonna do you wrong    'cause I don't wanna

[Verse 3]
I'm about to give you   all my money
But all I'm askin'   in return, honey
Is to give me   my propers
When you get home                       yeah, baby
