[Verse]
Dozens of girls would storm up
I had to lock my door
Somehow I couldn’t warm up
To one before
[Verse]
Dozens of girls would storm up
I had to lock my door
Somehow I couldn’t warm up
To one before
Weren’t you on the bill with me
In Dallas?
Or was it the Palace?
Or was it the Strand?

My mama done told me when I was in knee-pants
My mama done told me, she said Son
A woman will sweet-talk ya, she’ll give you the big eye
But when that sweet talkin’ is done
A woman’s a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who’ll leave ya to sing the blues in the night
How’s your love life?
Well thank your lucky stars,
Yes thank your lucky stars,
It’s doin’ fine!
Keep your love life
As sweet as candy bars,
And thank your lucky stars
Like I thank mine.
