Well, you can't make love to somebody,
                                   E
when you got somebody else on your mind.
        A                  D
Oh, you can't make love to another,

when you try, you're just wasting your time.

I got my gal by the hand, started dancing.
                                                E
I tried to lose these low down blues I couldn't hide.
               A                                  D
Yeah, that ol' funk gave me the shove, and I kept crawlin'..
            A    E         A
thought I'd loooonnng satisfied.
      

CHORUS:
A
Well, you can't make love to somebody,
                                   E
when you got somebody else on your mind.
        A                  D
Oh, you can't make love to another,
         A                E            A
when you try, you're just wasting your time.

A
Listen boy, ain't no joy when you're lonesome.
                                       E
Troubled time get you off on the wrong track.
       A                         D
Listen to a man that's had a lot experience..
       A                    E             A
if you do wrong then you'll never win her back.

CHORUS:
A
Well, you can't make love to somebody,
                                   E
when you got somebody else on your mind.
            A                  D
I said, you can't make love to another,
         A                E            A
when you try, you're just wasting your time.
