She loves me, she loves me not
    E9            A6
She loves me, she loves me not
    F#dim/A       Baug          E
She loves me, she loves me, she loves me


[Verse] (Elvis)
    A6   F#7     Bm
The lady loves me and it shows
   E9                  A6
In spite of the way she turns up her nose
A6        F#7      Bm
I'm her ideal, her heart’s desire
E9                   A6
Under that ice she's burning like fire
      D              G7
She'd like to cuddle up to me
      A               A#dim
She's playing hard to get
         Bm        E                       | A6 | E |
The lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet


[Verse] (Ann-Margret)
    A6    F#7     Bm
The gentleman has savoir-faire
   E9             A6
As much as an ele-phant or a bear
    A6      F#7     Bm
I'd like to take him for a spin
E9                 A6
Back to the zoo to visit his kin
     D            G7
He's got about as much appeal 
     A         A#dim
As a soggy cigarette
         Bm         E                      | A F# | Cm F |
The lady loathes him but he doesn't know it yet   (key change)

The lady's got a crush on me
    F9                Bb6
The gentleman's crazy obviously
    Bb6    G7    Cm
The lady's dying to be kissed
    F9                   Bb6
The gentleman needs a psychiatrist
    Eb            Ab7
I'd rather kiss a rattlesnake
   Bb              Bdim
Or play Russian roulette
         Cm       F9                      | Bb | F |
The lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet


[Verse] (Elvis and Ann-Margret taking turns)
      Bb6     G7        Cm
She's falling fast she's on the skids
F9                    Bb6
Both of his heads are flipping their lids
  Bb6          G7     Cm
Tonight she'll hold me in her arms
    F9                Bb6
I'd rather be holding hydrogen bombs
     Eb                Ab7
Will someone tell this Romeo
    Bb        Bdim
I'm not his Juliet
         Cm       F9                      | Bb | Bb7 |
The lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet


[Middle 8] (Elvis and Ann-Margret taking turns)
    Eb
She wants me - Like poison ivy
Bb
Needs me - Like a hole in the head
C7                            F
Everyone can see she's got it bad - He's mad!


[Verse] (Ann-Margret and Elvis taking turns)
    Bb6   G7        Cm
The gentleman is an egotist
    F9               Bb6
I'm simply aware I'm hard to resist
Bb6      G7          Cm
He's one man I could learn to hate
F9                 Bb6
How's about having dinner at eight
    Eb               Ab7
I'd rather dine with Frankenstein
     Bb               Bdim
In a moonlight tete-a-tete
         Cm       F9                      | Bb | G7/B |
The lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet


[Coda] (Elvis and Ann-Margret taking turns)
           Cm
Oh yes she loves me
F9                  | Bb6 | G7/B |
 Dig that shrinking violet
               Cm
Oh she really loves me
F9                   | Bb6 | G7/B |
 Here's one gal you'll never get
            Cm
She lo- lo- loves me
F9                     | Bb6 | G7/B |
 Would you like to make a bet
                Cm
I said the lady loves me
F9                            Bb6
 The gentleman's all wet ...
