E (4)
Everybody knows you've been steppin' on my toes and I'm

You keep a-steppin' out of line, you're messin' with my mind, if you
had any sense you'd quit
Chorus:
B7 (6)
'Cause ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinkin' then you'll find

You got the only daddy that'll walk the line

Now honey baby that ain't right
