lyrics
Got a pretty little bird
Says she'll wait for me
She's got herself a young, dumb
Handsome ol' thing
He says
"Go on babe,
"Make your mistakes with him."
But the good ones don't stand a chance
With their girls out chasing men
like me
Yeah, I'll get real god-damned drunk at night
I'll call her up
Say "Babe, it's alright."
And she'll
Head on over to lay by my side
Until one day
When she'll realize
No there ain't no future
With a man
A man like me
And she'll go home
To that pretty paper weight
And he'll make a lot of sense
Yeah, he'll get her to stay
But it'll never last
With a boy like that
No, he could never satisfy
Her dirty little mind
No it'll take a man
Like me
Sooner or later
I'll hear her outside
I'll bring her in
Force her hands to her sides
Then I'll tie her up
Give her hair a little tug
And she'll scream
"Oh, daddy! You're the one I love!
"Yeah I've always needed
"A man
"Oh, a man like you!"
Says she'll wait for me
She's got herself a young, dumb
Handsome ol' thing
He says
"Go on babe,
"Make your mistakes with him."
But the good ones don't stand a chance
With their girls out chasing men
like me
Yeah, I'll get real god-damned drunk at night
I'll call her up
Say "Babe, it's alright."
And she'll
Head on over to lay by my side
Until one day
When she'll realize
No there ain't no future
With a man
A man like me
And she'll go home
To that pretty paper weight
And he'll make a lot of sense
Yeah, he'll get her to stay
But it'll never last
With a boy like that
No, he could never satisfy
Her dirty little mind
No it'll take a man
Like me
Sooner or later
I'll hear her outside
I'll bring her in
Force her hands to her sides
Then I'll tie her up
Give her hair a little tug
And she'll scream
"Oh, daddy! You're the one I love!
"Yeah I've always needed
"A man
"Oh, a man like you!"
