C7
 I say you'd better take heed, (needle in a haystack),
Listen to me, (needle in a haystack).
You'd better play hard to get, or you're gonna regret,
The day you were born, girl, when he leaves you alone, girl.
Good guys are like findin' a, (needle in a haystack),
Girls, they're like findin' a, (needle in a haystack).
