Lyrics
Good Moves, Bad Moves
By Doug Buche (rev 2015)
1st Verse:
G C Em
I made some good moves, she made some bad moves.
G C Em
Now she’s gone. Well she is around here but what she is doing
G
I do not want to know.
Chorus:
F E Am F
Sooner or later she’ll call me again with a problem she needs some help with.
C E Am F
But I’m not her father, no not even a friend, just a lover she used for a while.
C Em F
I was her teacher. I taught her some things. Her safety net to which she would
C E Am F
cling. I was a ladder she climbed up on. She climbed up on and then kicked
aside.
(music break)
2nd Verse:
At first she wanted me as much as I wanted her. Our love seemed so strong.
Then she needed me more than I needed her. But I thought she was the one.
I treated her like she was the love of my life, gave her everything of me, as if she was my wife.
Bridge:
But for her I was no longer a prize, just another man to downgrade and criticize.
So I am leaving her, getting out of her life, right now. And what she is doing, I do not want to find out.
Chorus: Probably, sooner or later she’ll call me again with a problem she needs some help with. But I’m not her father, no not even a friend, just a lover she used for a while. I was her teacher I taught her some things. Her safety net to which she would cling. And now her problems are no longer mine. I don’t have to put up with her stubborn pride.
So I am leaving her, getting out of her life, right now. And what she is doing, I do not want to find out . . . . . . .fade out
