You want me be someone better

My pen won’t listen to a thing that I say

E	 a	  e	a  e	  a	  e	   a
Silly thing hey hey	silly thing hey hey

Well it don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got that swing
A    b7	e   a 	  e	  a e a e	b7 a
Silly thing hey hey   yeah	hey hey.

Maybe you’re getting sloppy
Under the midday sun oh yeah.
You come on like a carbon copy
But I just wanna hang to the way you live.
Don’t you want the love I got to give

Silly thing hey hey	silly thing hey hey
Well it don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got that swing
Silly thing hey hey   yeah   hey hey.

Don’t you want the love I got to give

Silly thing hey hey	silly thing hey hey
Well it don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got that swing
Silly thing hey hey   yeah   hey hey.
