Comin' with a big ol' shotgun too
D G C GMy lovin' situation lookin' mighty poor
Chorus 1
So if you're really wonderin'
C GWhat I'm doin' in your backyard
DI told you baby, I'd beat it home so soon
But if you're really worried
C GAbout what I'm doin' in your backyard
D G C GCome out later, I'll show you by the light of the moon.
Verse 2:
GI had some dreams and fortunes ready
C GMama, I got carried away
And lookin' back even more than I did before
GBut as I'm keepin' creepin' hidin' and sleepin'
C GThere's your daddy with the shotgun too
My lovin' situation ain't nothin' but poor
So if you're really worried
'Bout what I'm doin' in your backyard
DI told you baby, I was beatin' it home so soon
GBut if you're really worried
About what I'm doin' in your backyard
D G C GC'mon out later, I'll show you by the light of the moon
