       C
I took my baby to the doctor
       D
With a fever, but nothing he found
       C
By the time this hit the street
     D
They said she had a breakdown
C
Someone's always tryin' 
   D
To start my baby cryin'
C
Talkin', squealin', lyin'
       D     
Sayin' you just wanna be startin' somethin'

Chorus

    C
You love to pretend that you're good
            D
When you're always up to no good
    C
You really can't make him hate her
        D
So your tongue became a razor
C
Someone's always tryin' 
   D
To keep my baby cryin'
C
Treacherous, cunnin', declinin'
    D
You got my baby cryin'

Chorus

Bridge
         C                   D
You're a vegetable, you're a vegetable
           C                  D
Still they hate you, you're a vegetable
              C                D
You're just a buffet, you're a vegetable
         C                    D
They eat off of you, you're a vegetable

       C
Billie Jean is always talkin'
       D
When nobody else is talkin'
        C
Tellin' lies and rubbin' shoulders
        D
So they called her mouth a motor
C
Someone's always tryin'
   D
To start my baby cryin'
C
Talkin', squealin', spyin'
       D
Sayin' you just wanna be startin' somethin'

Still they hate you, you're a vegetable
              C                D
You're just a buffet, you're a vegetable
         C                    D
They eat off of you, you're a vegetable, aow!
