[Intro]
A    E  A
 
 
[Verse 1]
       A
When a dog gets hungry, he needs a bone
           D                    A
And when a man needs loving, he starts to roam
    D                            A
I'm starving for your love and I don't want a bone
                N.C.                           A
So if you treat me like a dog, I run away from home
 
 
[Verse 2]
              A
Don't want no warmed-over kisses or yesterday sighs
       D                      A
I want everything fresh, even brand new lies
       D                             A
If you can't treat me right, then it ain't no treat
            N.C.                                 A
If the grub ain't no good, there ain't no use to eat

[Verse 3]
      A
I'm a connoisseur when it comes to love
             D                     A
Don't want a tough, old hen in the place of a dove
           D                              A
Don't want boarding house kisses 'cause I don't wanna fight
        N.C.                                 A
Don't bother to kiss me if you can't kiss me right

[Verse 4]
           A
I want the four-course dinner and your love every day
          D                           A
And if it ain't on the menu, there's another café
     D                          A
Want everything fresh from your sweet, sweet lips
          N.C.                              A
If the service ain't good, I don't leave no tips
 
 
[Verse 5]
        A
Well, I know all the tricks underneath the moon
          D                                A
If you're cooking some soup, you know that I'll want a spoon
             D                      A
If you ain't got what I want, then another gal may
            N.C.                              A
If it ain't on the menu, there's another café
