Bm                              
 You wanna beat it but you're
               D          Em G A
 never gonna leave this town
Bm                            
 In the jungle where the fever 
          D        Em    G A
 comes immediate ground
 
Bm                              
 I'm alone with all my friends, 
                    D
 firewood's to the p*ssy den
Em                            
 Shakin' up that new West End, 
        G                  A
 don't get too close, my style bends
Bm                          
 I'ma do my thing this time, 
                     D
 hurtin', we're the Serpentine
Em                         G         
 Everything we overheard, pizza's free 
     A           Bm
on thirtythirtythird, third, third
 
 
[Chorus]
 C         D        Em 
Don't you love me, baby? 
      A
The shape I'm takin'
C                       D            
After lettin' go, the trouble funk is 
         Bm   C
on the floor, oh my children
           D        Em 
Don't you love me, baby? 
      A
The shape I'm takin'
 C                    D     
Jungle at the disco, jungle's 
                  Em    A
what they came before
 
 
[Verse 2]
Bm                             
 The beat is tricky but you're 
              D        Em    G A
 never gonna move it around
Bm                           
 You're dressin' up when you 
                    D       Em  G A
 really should be dressin' down
Bm                          
 You know my one last nerve, 
                  D
 ring my bell on Dead Man's Curve
Em                              
 Pick 'em up your make the queen 
    G            A
 a super walk is so obscene
Bm                             
 Gonna do your thing this time, 
               D
 Misai river, box of wine
Em                              
 Throw it up, it's time to serve, 
  G                A           Bm
 pizza's free on thirtythirtythird, 

 third, third

Don't you love me, baby? 
       A
The shape I'm takin'
C                       D   
After lettin' go, the trouble 
                  Bm  C
funk is on the floor, oh my children
           D         Em 
Don't you love me, baby? 
       A
The shape I'm takin'
 C                    D

 You're dressin' up, you really 
                     Dm
 should be dressin' down
Bb               C
