(Intro)
Verse 1:
M9/
Hey Mr. why'd ya play that song
Till I heard it I was gettin' along
M9/
Why'd ya have to take me to that place
And make me think about her smilin' face
M9/
How she used to make me laugh out loud
Kiss me in the middle of a down town crowd
M9
Talk dirty to me on the phone
Then I woke up alone
Chorus:
And it's like water to a drowning man
I.O.U written in sand
Tryin' to beat three ace's with a couple of kings.
Yeah, Round trip on a run away train
A Hand shake from Saddam Hussein
Sweet dreams of love and a wedding ring
Didn't mean a thing
M9/
It Didn't mean a thing, no ooo ooo
Verse 2:
M9/
Said she was the answer to my prayers
As she ran her fingers through my hair
M9/
She told me that I was second to none
D D/A Am(hammer into chord)
She promised me the stars one by one
M9/
She had me goin' from the day we met
Plans were made the date was set
M9/
Now it was picture perfect like Barbie and Ken
But this is now and that was then

That didn't mean a thing.
Mr. Clinton said he did not in hell.
That didn't mean a thing.
Didn't mean a thing!
