[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.
