[Verse 1]
B
B
It's not a good idea
G#m G
to listen to these boys
B
They swear they are in love,
G#m G
then treat our hearts like little toys
B Baug
They send us empty words in rhyme,
Eadd4
why does it get you every time?
[Verse 2]
B
They made a solemn oath
G#m
that didn't last a single day
Gaug B
So, it's not a good idea
G#m Gaug
to put much faith in things they say
B Baug
Cause any love that comes this fast
Eadd4 G#m
is a folly that won't last
E F#
But if they really are in love?
D#m G#m
What is love? What does it mean?
E F#
He thinks he loves a plastic princess,
D#m G#m
not a partner, not a queen
E F#
He doesn't notice who he's chasing,
D#m G#m
he just likes to make the chase
E F#
He makes these grand elaborate gestures,
D#m G#m
but won't look me in the face
E F# D#m G#m
He talks and talks so he can cover up his insecurities
E N.C.
He's exactly like my Dad
N.C.
Oh no
F
He's exactly like me
[Chorus]
E B/D#
So, it's not a good idea to think it's real.
E F#
The words they use to describe
B/D#
the way they think they feel
E Em
They're just in love with saying they're in love
B
It's not a good idea
[Verse 3]
C
Well, if that's the big idea,
Am Ab
we can beat them at their game
C
They are coming in disguise,
Am Abaug
well ladies we can do the same
C Caug
And our lovers will be tasked
Fadd4 Am
for when they come, we will be masked
C Am Ab
C Am Ab
Fmaj7
And if they ask us to dance?
Fmaj7
We will not move a foot
Cmaj7/E
And if they say pretty speeches?
Cmaj7/E
We will just stay put
Fmaj7
And if they say they're in love?
Fmaj7
They say an awful lot
Fmaj7/E Em7 A7
But words are easy, commitment is not
[Bridge]
Dm9 Dm9/E Dm9/F
He has to learn to stop his heart from beating
Dm9/G C/E C/F C/G
He has to learn to stop his blood from heating
C/A Fmaj7 Fmaj7/G Fmaj7/A
He has to learn to stop his head from cheating
[Chorus]
Fmaj7/B F C/E
Cause, it's not a good idea to trust these boys
F C/E
When they treat our hearts like little toys
F Fm
They're just in love with saying they're in love
[Verse 4]
Fmaj7
But, if I believe Armando with all of his flaws?
Cmaj7/E
They're dressing up like Germans, they just want our applause
Fmaj7
But maybe I'm running from my best chance
Cmaj7/E Em7 A7
They only want a quick romance
Dm G
We'll show these men that if they want us
Em Am
they can't act like little boys
Dm G
If he would stop with all the dancing
Em Am
And quit making so much noise
Dm G
He would dress like he was normal
E Am
And admit that I was right
Dm G
If he would listen for a minute
Em G
Maybe this could end tonight
[Chorus]
F C/E
Cause, it's not a good idea to think is real
F C/E
To think it's more than a game the way they say they feel
C
Cause if they think that love's a game
C/A
Then mock for mock we'll do the same
C/F
Just keep your cool and learn to play your part
F Fm6
We are wise girls to mock our lovers so
N.C
It's a very good idea
