ADAD
I met a girl in L.A. and she seemed alright to me,
ADBmE
She said she'd give me loving and she said it would be free,
ADAD
She told me she would call me or leave a message at the door,
BmEADAD
And left me wondering what I was in for.
[Verse 2]
ADAD
By the next time that I saw her I had clean forgot her name
ADBmE
And without her fancy make-up she just didn't look the same,
ADAD
So I totally ignored her and she sadly turned away,
BmEA
And through sympathy I told her she could stay.
[CHORUS]
F#mA
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
C#mE
No one wants your love at all,
F#mA
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
C#mE
Now you're heading for a fall,
D
And you really think your're something,
AE
you know all the things to do
F#mD
But poor lady, just a baby,
EADAD
There's a hundred more like you.
[Verse 3]
AD
Now for two weeks more she was at my door,
AD
She would stay with me for days,
ADBmE
As a lover she was frightening in so many different ways,
ADAD
But when it came to conversation she was totally absurd,
BmEA
Oh she'd sit for hours and never say a word.
[CHORUS]
F#mA
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
C#mE
No one wants your love at all,
F#mA
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
C#mE
Now you're heading for a fall,
D
And you really think your're something,
AE
you know all the things to do
F#mD
But poor lady, just a baby,
EADAD
There's a hundred more like you.
[Verse 4]
ADAD
She spends her days in different ways, still trying to be hip,
ADBmE
And at night she'll find she'll lose her mind, at a club along the strip,
ADAD
When her money goes she always knows she got something she can sell,
BmEA
It's the one thing that she really can do well.
[CHORUS]
F#mA
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
C#mE
No one wants your love at all,
F#mA
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
C#mE
Now you're heading for a fall,
D
And you really think your're something,
AE
you know all the things to do
F#mD
But poor lady, just a baby,
EADAD
There's a hundred more like you.
