Lyrics and Chords


[Original in F; Capo -2]

Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
'Cause I speak of the Pompatus of love

/ G C D C / / / /

People talk about me baby
Say I'm doing you wrong, doing you wrong
Well don't you worry, baby, don't worry
Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home

{Refrain}
'Cause I'm a picker, I'm a grinner, I'm a lover, I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run

/ G C G C / G C D C / :

Oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh

/ C - - - /

You're the cutest thing that I ever did see
I really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree
Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Oohwee, baby, I'll sure show you a good time

{Refrain}
...Sure don't want to hurt no one

People keep talking about me, baby
Say I'm doing you wrong
Well don't you worry, don't worry, no don't worry mama
'Cause I'm right here at home

You're the cutest thing that I ever did see
I really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree
Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Come on baby, show me a good time
