Lyrics

[00:00.00] Well, I've been swinging through these swinging doors for
[00:03.21] Goin' on probably about 9 years now, maybe even 10
[00:09.77] And I watch old Joe at the end of the bar
[00:12.23] With another hot woman on his one good arm
[00:14.80] And they walk out for a while and he comes back in smilin' again
[00:24.31] So I finally had to ask old Joe,
[00:26.81] "Man, what's your secret to success
[00:29.58] Your power of persuasion over the opposite sex"
[00:32.99] And he says, "Son, well honestly, it's pretty simple"
[00:37.65] He said, "I just kinda walk up and buy her a drink
[00:41.60] And open up my mouth
[00:43.29] And Lie
[00:46.98] I tell her I'm a movie star
[00:51.14] I just flew into town to buy this bar
[00:55.99] I'm only here tonight, that's right
[01:01.94] I gotta go, yeah
[01:04.78] We're filming on location down in Mexico
[01:10.40] Would you believe that I got the leading role?
[01:14.38] That's right, honey,
[01:15.59] I beat out a lot of folks that you'd probably know
[01:21.18] Oh, a man has got to do what a man's gotta do
[01:28.95] Anything it takes to make her think you're cool
[01:35.50] Ah, you got nothing to lose, so go on and try
[01:41.02] Just walk right up and smile
[01:44.02] And look her dead in the eye and lie
[01:54.88] That's right, lie
[02:00.11] So I tried and tried a couple weekends
[02:02.68] And it was like strike 1, strike 2, strike out again
[02:09.28] But I narrowed it down and I scratched it out
[02:12.27] And I came up with something that without a doubt
[02:14.69] I knew I was gonna make old Joe proud
[02:18.17] And I go up and I'd say
[02:19.58] Hi, honey, whatcha doing for the rest of your life?
[02:27.18] I've been waiting such a long, long time
[02:30.95] And you know what, honey?
[02:32.49] Meetin' you here, man, it just really feels like fate
[02:37.89] Oh, I, I bet you didn't see me as a marrying type
[02:46.40] Let's take it slow,
[02:47.68] I don't just want one night, oh no, darlin'
[02:51.76] If you're looking for that you might as well look somewhere else
[02:55.00] Well, because I'm just not that kind of guy
[02:57.65] And kids, oh, I love kids
[03:00.74] Dogs, in laws and a piece of land
[03:05.68] Dirty diapers in my mini van
[03:09.24] Aw man, I can hardly wait
[03:16.38] Oh, a man has got to do what a man's gotta do
[03:24.32] Anything it takes to make her think you're cool
[03:30.74] Aw, you got nothin' to lose so go on and try
[03:36.19] Just walk right up, and smile, and look her dead in the eye
[03:43.41] You know what you got to do, lie
[03:49.07] That's right, you gotta lie, sometimes you gotta lie
