Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody said that you'd better watch out
Man, she's gonna turn you in
And me, you know that I thought that I lucked out
And now look at the trouble that I'm in
You know you'd better
[Verse 2]
Watch out for Charley's girl
Watch out for Charley's girl
Watch out for Charley's girl
Watch out for Charley's girl
[Verse 3]
It happened on New Year's Eve
They said everybody had to leave
They had a warrant in their hand
They wanted to bust the whole band
I said, "If i ever see Sharon again
Im gonna punch her face in"
[Verse 4]
You know you, you'd better
Watch out for Charley's girl
Hey, now, now
Watch out for Charley's girl
You know she'll turn you, turn you in
Watch out for Charley's girl
Watch out for Charley's girl
She'll turn you in, you'd better
[Verse 5]
Watch out, you'd better
Watch out, you'd better
You'd better watch out, you'd better
You'd better watch out for her
For Charley's girl
For Charley's girl now
