[Lyrics], my version of them, probably not perfect.

(Verse):

Rude Girl don't make me cry. Why do you do the things you do when you

pass me by? Is there a reason why you find it funny to bring tears to my

eyes. I meet you at the club. I try to tell you that I think I'm in love.

You walked away from me. The rest of the night well I do not see you at all.

(Break)

(Verse):

While the Exceptions played, I stayed and you wondered why I was afraid.

Because I'm next to you, I'll tell you the truth, and nothing but. I

fucked it up once again. You walked away with another man. What's a Rude

Boy to do when hecan't get, when he can't get, when he can't get next to you?

(Break):

I can't get next to you, whoa no.

(Verse):

Rude Girl don't make me sad. I think you do the things you do just to

make me mad. I think that I have been had. At least I know now that love

is bad. Say you're the queen of ska. I don't think you really know who

you are. You are the one that I want. When push comes to shove, that's

what I say.

(End):

That's what I say. . . .

RUDE - GIRL!

That's it! I hope the chords sound right to you, and that you will buy

the CD if you don't already have it. E-mail me with any questions,

comments, etc.
