Well, I've been swinging through these swinging doors for, aww,
|
goin' on probably about 9 years now, maybe even 10
|
And I watch old Joe at the end of the bar with another hot woman
|
on his one good arm and they walk out for a while and he comes back in smilin', again
|
So I finally had to ask old Joe,
|
a¢æ©«Man, what's your secret to success, your power of persuasion over the opposite sexa¢æ?
|
And he says, a¢æ©«Son, well, honestly, it's pretty simple.a¢æ?
|
He said, a¢æ©«I just kinda walk up and buy her a drink and open up my mouth anda¢æ|
|
|
Lie I tell her I'm a movie star
|
I just flew into town to buy this bar
|
I'm only here tonight, that's right
|
I gotta go, yeah, we're filming on location down in Mexico
|
Would you believe that I got the leading role?
|
That's right, honey, I beat out a lot of folks that you'd probably know.a¢æ?
|
Oh, a man has got to do what a man's gotta do
|
Anything it takes to make her think you're cool
|
Ah, you got nothing to lose, so go on and try
|
Just walk right up and smile and look her dead in the eye
|
And lie
|
That's right lie
|
So I tried and tried a couple weekends and
|
it was like strike 1, strike 2, strike out again
|
But I narrowed it down, and I scratched it out, and I came up with something
|
that without a doubt I knew, I was gonna make old Joe proud
|
And I go up and I'd say
|
Hi Honey, whatcha doing for the rest of your life
|
I've been waiting such a long, long time
|
And you know what honey?
|
Meetin' you here, man, it just really feels like fate
|
Oh I, I bet you didn't see me as a marrying type
|
Let's take it slow I don't just want one night, oh no darlin'
|
If you're looking for that you might as well look somewhere else
|
Well, because I'm just not that kind of guy
|
|
And
|
kids, oh I love kids
|
Dogs, in-laws, and a piece of land
|
Dirty diapers in my mini van
|
Aw man, I can hardly wait
|
|
Oh a man has got to do what a man's gotta do
|
Anything it takes to make her think you're cool
|
Aw, you got nothin' to lose so go on and try
|
Just walk right up, and smile, and look her dead in the eye
|
You know what you got to do, lie
|
That's right you gotta lie
|
Sometimes you gotta lie
|
