"I wanna talk to you."
                                                    D/F#
"The last time we talked, Mr. Smith, you reduced me to tears. I promise you it won't happen again."


[Verse 1]
G
Do I attract you?
                           D/F#   G
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
G
Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty?
     D/F#            G
Do I like what you like?

G
I could be wholesome, I could be loathsome
                  D/F#    G
I guess I'm a little bit shy
 G
Why don't you like me, why don't you like me
N.C.
Without making me try?


[Pre-Chorus]
G                         Dm7
I tried to be like Grace Kelly, mm

But all her looks were too sad, ah
G                     Dm7

[Chorus 1]
G
I could be brown, I could be blue

I could be  violet    sky
             C                 Dsus4
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
              D
I could be anything you like

G
Gotta be green, gotta be mean
          G Am7 G/B   C
Gotta be everything  more
               C                     D7sus4
Why don't you like me? Why don't you like me?
               D7           G
Why don't you walk out the door!


[Hook]
 N.C.
"Getting angry doesn't solve anything."


[Verse 2]
 G
How can I help it, how can I help it
           G    Am7 G/B   C
How can I help what you think?
  C                     D7sus4
Hello my baby, hello my baby
            D7           G
Putting my life on the brink

 G
Why don't you like me, why don't you like me
               G Am7  G/B  C
Why don't you liiike yourself?
  C                               D7sus4
Should I bend over? Should I look older
           D7            G
Just to be put on your shelf?

[Bridge]
Cm7                   G                C
Say what you want to satisfy yourself
    Cm7       F         G  D/F#       Em        D    A7/C#
But you only want what everybody else says you should want...
