she said there’s many ways to show a woman affection
in case you’re thinkin’ about throwing some my direction
I said I really hadn’t thought about it
but the truth is I seriously doubt it
I hope you don’t go and pout about it
why ruin things when they’re going good
I feel comfortable in your neighborhood
love only invites complication
a certain level of frustration
a stormy day full of precipitation
I don’t wanna invite any future trouble
like a burned out building full of rubble
I think we oughta just leave things alone
not be two dogs fighting over a bone
or trying to pass in a no passing zone
she emptied her glass of gin and vermouth
and said honestly to tell you the truth
if you came on to me I’d tell you to go to hell
I’m not looking for no hard sell
we’re just two like pennies down a wishing well
