I never thought I'd live to see the day Anyone could turn my head the other way She squirmed beside him, her mind was made Now she can't say that anymore I've never done this sort of thing before Once you get started it ain't all that hard Then he got up and locked that cheatin' door Now she can't say that anymore At home her porch lights burnin' as she fumbles for the key Tonight she jumps the fences but she didn't quite get free She's as cool as a salesman as he opens the door She's breakin' in a new new routine for the man who walks the floor Mama insisted that I stay awhile You're treatin' me as if I were on trial I've never lied to you she kindly smiled Now she can't say that anymore At home her porch lights burnin' as she fumbles for the key Tonight she jumps the fences but she didn't quite get free She's as cool as a salesman as he opens the door She's breakin' in a new routine for the man who walks the floor Now she can't say that anymore Now she can't say that anymore Now she can't say that anymore Now she can't say that anymore Now she can't say that anymore
