[Verse]
Em
Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
Had a drink about an hour ago
Am
Sitting in a corner by herself
B7           C       B7
In a bar in downtown hell
Em
She heard a noise and she looked to the door
And saw a man she'd never seen before
Am
Light skin, light blue eyes
B                   C      B
A double chin and a plastic smile
Em
Her heart raced as he walked through the door
And took an empty seat next to her at the bar
B
'My brand new car is parked right outside
Am
How'd you like to go for a ride?' And she said
Em
'Wait a minute, I have to think'
He said 'That's fine, may I please buy you a drink?'
B
One drink turned into 3 or 4
         C            B        Em
And they left and got into his car
         C              B          Em
And they drove away some place real far

Em
Now babe, the time has come
How'd you like to have a little fun? And she said
B                 C               G
'If we could only please be on our way,
            D             B
I would not run'
Em
That's when things got out of control
Em         C    
She didn't want to
Em     C   
He had his way
Em       C     
She said let's go
Em      C   
He said no way
B                      C     B
Come on babe, it's your lucky day
B                               C   B
Shut your mouth, we're gonna do it my way
B                      C  B
Come on baby, don't be afraid
B
If it wasn't for date rape, I'd never get laid
B B B

Em
He finished up, started the car
He turned around and drove back to the bar
Am
He said 'Now baby, don't be said,'
B                   C            B
'In my opinion, you weren't half bad.'

Em
She picked up a rock.
Threw it at the car.
Hit him in the head
Now he's got a big scar
Am
Come on, party people won't you listen to me
B         C
Date rape stylee
Em
The next day, she went to her drawer
Looked up her local attorney-at-law
B
Went to the phone and filed a police report
Am
And then she took the guy's ass to court
Em
The day he stood in front of the judge
He screamed 'She lies, that little slut!'
B
The judge knew he was full of shit
      C          B    Em
So he gave him 25 years
            C        B           Em
And now his heart is filled with tears
Em
One night in jail, it was getting late
He was butt-raped by a large inmate
B
And he screamed
        C              G                D        B
But the guards paid no attention to his cries
Em
That's when things got out of control
Em        C 
The moral of the
Em        C 
Date rape story
Em          C 
It does not pay
Em              C 
To be drunk and horny

B                         C 
But that's the way it had to be
B
They locked him up and threw away the key
        C B
Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind
C B
Even though he now takes it in the behind

B                                C B
But that's the way it had to be
B
They locked him up and threw away the key
      C  B
Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind
C B
Even though he now takes it in the behind
Date rape!
