Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, she wants to be a singer in the band
Maybe I'll give the girl a hand and a microphone
Looks like she's all alone
She can bring a friend, though she's not my kind of friend
She keeps on starin' me out with her ole black 'n' blue eyes
[Verse 2]
And I can take her dancin' just to give the girl a chance
And I was never that good at bein' nice when I should
I guess that she'll forgive me right before she tries to kill me
'Cause I sold her on yesterday's come-take-me-home eyes
[Verse 3]
And I can take her waltzin' just so she could kick my head in
Oh, I do believe I was drunk, and both of my heads had shrunk
I guess her name was Tina, 'cause before I'd even seen her
I was lost in her what's-your-name, just-get-me-fucked eyes
Oh, take-me-home eyes
[Verse 4]
And Chelsea said she's got nowhere to go
And if she does, she's gettin' there slow
And I can help her out, but I've got somewhere to be
And that's the very thing when you're dealin' with me
[Verse 5]
Young soul Dagger, beggin' me to bag her
Filthy heart and swollen hips
And she said, "Oh, my dearest, I'm not pretty, isn't it a pity
That you won't kiss these rotten lips?"
Oh, take-me-home eyes
Ole black 'n' blue eyes
[Verse 6]
And Chelsea said she's got nowhere to go
And if she does, she's gettin' there slow
And I can help her out, but I've got somewhere to be
And that's the very thing when you're dealin' with me
