(verse)
C     Bb            Am         G# G
  Why do you let me stay here,
C     Bb   Am    G# G
  All by myself?
C               Bb       Am         G#
  Why don't you come and play here?
G                         C      Bb Am G# G
  I'm just sitting on the shelf

(verse 2)
C               Bb                 Am            G# G
  Why don't you sit right down and stay a while?
C             Bb               Am                G# G
  We like the same things and I like your style
C            Bb    Am           G#
  It's not a secret, why do you keep it?
G                         C      Bb Am G# G
  I'm just sitting on the shelf

(verse 3)
C   Bb            Am        G# G
  I gotta get you presents,
C       Bb      Am    G# G
  Let's make it known
C                Bb      Am        G#
  I think you're just so pleasant,
G                         C
  I would like you for my own

  Why don't you sit right down and make me smile?
D             C              Bm           Bb A
  You make me feel like I am just a child
D            C   Bm             Bb
