Written & Recorded by Dolly Parton
Album: Blue Smoke (2014)

(No Capo)

(G7) (C7) What are you looking at, lover boy?
(G7) (C7) It won't do you any good
(C7) (G7) 'Cause I know your kind
(D7) (C7) If you wanna be mine, we gotta get this understood

Intro.:  (G7) x 2 bars

(Chorus)
Oh, (G7)I'm not gonna be your, be your (C7)lover du jour
Your (G7)special off the day, no way, I'll (D7)do farewell, bonjour
Par-(G7)don my French, but there's no chance in the (C7)hell for you, for sure
If (G7)you think I will be, I'll be your (D7)lov-(C7)er (Bb7)du (G7)jour ---
I'm what? --- ((Bb7)Lo-(C7)ver (Bb7)du (G7)jour) Not me!

(G7)I am well aware of your good (C7)looks and sexy ways
(G7)Serving up yourself to girls to (D7)satisfy your taste
The (G7)fresh catch of the day on your (C7)Romeo buffet
(D7)Served up hot and (E7)ready just (F7)having it your (D7/F#)way

Well, (G7)if I'm on the menu, you'd (C7)better get this straight (Lover du jour)
Me and (G7)you had better come to terms be-(D7)fore you grab your plate
Don't (G7)need one place to order if (C7)you believe that I
I'm (D7)just some cheesy (E7)little dish, just an-(F7)other chickie pie (D7/F#)

(Chorus)
Oh, (G7)I'm not gonna be your, be your (C7)lover du jour
The (G7)flavor of the day, no way, I'll (D7)do farewell, bonjour
Par-(G7)don my French, but there's no chance in the (C7)hell that I'll endure
The (G7)fact that I would only be your (D7)lov-(C7)er (Bb7)du (G7)jour
Oubliez-(Bb7)moi! (C7)(Bb7)(G7) Forget me!

(Bridge)
(Em7) Still looking, lover boy, (C7) have you changed your view?
(Em7) I told you once, I'll say it again, I'll (C7)take no merit from you, that's crap!

If (G7)you want something appetizing, (C7)something real and satisfying
(D7)I'll be worth a second look, but that's (E7)the (F7)only way! (D7/F#)

(Chorus)
'Cause, (G7)I'm not gonna be your, be your (C7)l'amour du jour
Your (G7)playmate of the day, no way, I'll (D7)do farewell, bonjour
'Cause (G7)I won't be caught up in all your (C7)charm and your allure
No, (G7)I'm not gonna be your, be your (D7)lov-(C7)er (Bb7)du (G7)jour

No, (G7)I'm not gonna be your, be your (C7)lover du jour
The (G7)special off the day, no way, I'll (D7)do farewell, bonjour
Par-(G7)don my French, but there's no chance in the (C7)hell that I'll endure
The (G7)fact that I would only be your (D7)lov-(C7)er (Bb7)du (G7)jour
No, (G7)I'm not gonna be your, be your (D7)lov-(C7)er (Bb7)du (G7)jour
Your (D7)lov-(C7)er (Bb7)du (G7)jour, (Bb7)(C7)|(G7) --- mmh, state of mush!

(Spoken)
(G7) (C7) No, I am (G7)not for your amusement (D7)
I am not a toy, (G7) you are nothing but (C7)trouble
You are a (G7)bad bad boy! ((D7)l'a-(C7)mour (Bb7)du (G7)jour)

(G7)I am a tasty starter a-(C7)round a full course meal
Des-(G7)ert half after dinner (G7/B)drink, (C7)(C#7)and (D7)you can have no feel
Pardon (G7) my French ??? |(C7) |(G7) |(G7)(G7/B)(C7)(C#7)(G7)|
|(D7) An-(C7)y (Bb7)questions? (G7) ---

Oh, my French is awful, but my love is awesome
They gonna laugh at me in France, sorry -----
