Electic Guitar: G F C
Acoustic: Capo on 5: D C G
G(D) F(C) C(G)
If you want I'll be by your side
If you don't maybe suicide
It's my love that'd kill me dear
If you won't have me and hold me near
Don't you fret and don't be scared
Cause baby I am a millionaire
I'll make you a star and I'll make you a queen
I'll put your face upon a magazine
OK, so I lied, none of that's true
Not having you is making me blue
And I want you for the rest of my life
Yes, I want you to be my wife
I'll give a ring and a home sweet home
And if you want, you'll be free to roam
But not too far, I'll be begging you please
Begging you please upon a bended knee
G(D) F(C) C(G)
Cause if you don't love-a me I'll kill myself
If you don't love-a me I'll kill myself
If you don't love-a me I'll kill myself
If you don't love-a me I'll kill myself
I need you more than a sailor needs a breeze
I need you more than an Eskimo freeze
I need your love more than money or air
If you don't love me baby that's not fair
Cause I'll be good to you in every way
I'll give you lovin' baby every day
A lovin' that's good a loving' that's allright
A lovin' like an oven on a cold winter night
Cause if you don't love-a me I'll kill myself
If you don't love-a me I'll kill myself
If you don't love-a me I'll kill myself
If you don't love-a me I'll kill myself
