Lyrics
"Run away. Run away." she said
Before I do you in.
I've been the demise of many a stronger man.
Can't tell you who or what but boy, I'll tell you when.
"Run away. Run away." she said
Don't call here again.
CHORUS
But Oh. Don't know how.
It's happenin' again.
Is that an offer for it all?
Or just a casual glance?
She was kind and sweet and kind of kind to the eye.
Took my heart in like a small lost child.
I'm not the socially courageous man.
Been known to punt. At least by first and ten.
CHORUS
But Oh. Don't know how.
It's happenin' again.
Is that an offer for it all?
Or just a casual glance?
BRIDGE
Don't know what I'd do with out you.
Don't know what I'd do with out you now.
Out you now.
Writin' bad checks.
Extending my credit. Bet it all. Bet it all. Bet it all.
Bachelor lifestyle is a controlled mess.
Go from contentment to what the hell's next.
Bar room buddies want to hear all the escapades.
All night drinking binges and girls without names.
CHORUS (2X)
But Oh. Don't know how.
It's happenin' again.
Is that an offer for it all?
Or just a casual glance?
