[Verse]
Bb**
Addey's a cat, she's a fool,
Bb**
she's a star, she's a queen,
Bn
She lives in a trap down on 3rd,
Bb** F**
never heard, never seen,
Gm ** Eb**
Oh, she's desperate for a way to get out;
Bb**
she don't know what "out" means,
Cm
Addey, don't you be so afraid;
F Bb**
it's not as bad as it seems.
[Verse]
Bb**
She walks 'cross the floor,
Bb**
toward the door, to stairs to the street,
Bb**
She calls up a cab for downtown,
F**
there's a man she must meet,
Gm** Eb**
Oh, the thought of what she's got to go through
Bb**
makes her cry to be free,
Cm
Addey, wipe those tears from your eyes;
F ** Bb**
you wouldn't want him to see.
[Verse]
Bb**
So she puts on a face with a smile
Bb**
as she walks through the door,
Bb**
She thinks of her folks and her home,
F**
and what she came there for,
Gm** Eb**
She tells the man, after this time
Bb**
she won't be back for more,
Cm
He says, "Huh, Addey, don't you be a fool;
F Bb**
you said that time and time before."
[Chorus]
N.C.
I can hear him say...

F
NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA NA NA
Gm Eb Bb
NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA,
Cm Bb
NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA,
[Verse]
Bb**
She runs down the street, in the heat,
Bb
down past Nowhere Café,
Bb**
She drops to her knees 'neath the trees,
F
but she don't know how to pray,
Gm Eb
Ooh, Addey, there's no life in that rig,
Bb
why don't you throw it away?
Cm F
Trust in God for a new kind of life,
Bb
Honey, he won't lead you astray, never.
[Chorus]
N.C.
Can I hear her sayBb
NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA NA NA
F
NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA NA NA
Gm Eb Bb
NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA,
