lyrics from reprint of 1966 sheet music
D
She,
C
She told me that she loved me.
And like a fool I believed her from the start.
D
She,
C
She said she'd never hurt me
And then she turned around and broke my heart.
D D+
Why am I standing here
G
Missing her
Gm D
And wishing she were here?
Bm D
She only did me wrong
Bm D
I'm better off alone.
D
She,
C
She devoured all my sweet love
Took all I had and then she fed me dirt.
D
She,
C
She laughed when I was crying.
It was such a joke to see the way it hurt.
D D+
Why am I standing here
G
Missing her
Gm D
And wishing she were here?

Bm D
She only did me wrong
Bm D
I'm better off alone.
F
And now I know just why she
C
Keeps me hangin' 'round.
F
She needs someone to walk on
C Bb
So her feet don't touch the ground.
C
But I love her
And I need her
I want her
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
D
She!
C
Girl you really know how to turn a man inside out!
D
She!
C
Sometimes I wonder how I'm gonna stand around here and take it!
D D+
Why am I standing here
G
Missing her
Gm D
And wishing she were here?
Bm D
She only did me wrong
Bm D
I'm better off alone.
REPEAT THE FOLLOWING AND FADE:
Bm D
She only did me wrong
Bm D
I'm better off alone.
