Willie and Nilli had a stereo
          Bb                  F   F Bb F
Willie built that beautiful thing
F F Bb F
F                         Bb      F
   They’d crank Metallica up real loud
        Bb                C
Jump around the room and sing
Bb                          F
   Sing from their hearts, from their throats
F               C            Dm
Singin’ at the top of their lungs
F                              Bb      F
  Till the neighbors from all sides complained
       Bb         C      F
To the cops who’d never come

[Chorus]
They’d be singing
F               Bb       F
Love me like I wanna be loved
Bb              C        F
Love me like I wanna be loved
          F              Bb       F
Singing, love me like I wanna be loved
Bb              C        F
Love me like I wanna be loved
Bb              C        F
Love me like I wanna be loved

They drank all night and they slept all day
         Bb           F  F Bb F
In that Polk Street SRO
F F Bb F

  When the sun went down
      Bb           F
They crushed some ice
         Bb         C
Ordered Chinese to go
Bb                         F
   And turned that stereo again real loud
F               C            Dm
Singing at the top of their lungs
F                              Bb          F
   Till the neighbors got the broomsticks out
            Bb         C     F
Called the cops who’d never come

[Chorus]
They’d be singing
F               Bb       F
Love me like I wanna be loved
Bb              C        F
Love me like I wanna be loved
          F              Bb       F
Singing, love me like I wanna be loved
Bb              C        F
Love me like I wanna be loved
Bb              C        F
Love me like I wanna be loved

  Nilli said, “I had a body once
        Bb            F  F Bb F
Willie, you have no idea
F                           Bb      F
  I could make a grown man bark all night
    Bb       C
Anytime, anywhere”
Bb                       F
   Willie said, “I had a lion’s mane,
        F          C         Dm
Now I sing at the top of my lungs
F                            Bb          F
  Till the neighbors get the broomsticks out
         Bb       C     F
And the cops all sing along”

[Chorus]
They’d be singing

Love me like I wanna be loved
Bb              C        F
Love me like I wanna be loved

Singing, love me like I wanna be loved

Love me like I wanna be loved
Bb              C        F
Love me like I wanna be loved
