All of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold
D7 A7
I've said all of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold
E7 D7
Hey, I've got a new story to tell you this evening, baby
A7 D7 E7
One that ain't never been told
[Verse 2]
A7
I went to work the other day
But I thought that I would double back
And that car I saw sitting in front of my door
D7
Looked like a brand new, a brand new Cadillac, yeah!
[Chorus]
A7
I ain't got none now baby
D7
I think you've been cheating on me
E7 D7 A7 D7 B7
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help
E7
That I don't think I really need
[Verse 3]
A7
The iceman came by this morning
And you know he didn't leave no ice
The postman came by later baby
D7
And he didn't even ring twice
[Chorus]
D7
I think you've been cheating on me

I think you're running out on me

I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help

[Verse 4]
A7
Now, I want you to tell the iceman
The next time he'd better leave some ice
And I want you to tell the postman
He'd better ring more than twice
A7
And when I come home from work in the morning
Better still be some groceries on the shelf
I want to tell that slick insurance man
D7
That he'd better write some insurance on his self
[Chorus]
D7
Yes, I think you've been cheating on me
A7
I think you're running out on me
E7 D7 A7 D7 A7
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some help, some help
Some help, I don't really need
