Lyrics
If I were a fly on the wall
I wouldn't care for you at all
I'd fly high and I'd never fall
If I were a fly on the wall
and if I were a bottle on that bar
then I'd know right where you are
fillin' up your glass I would be
and you couldn't get enough of me
Chorus:
Cut me loose and I'll fly high
like a dandelion in the wind
I'll fly high to the blue sky
and you'll never hear from me again
If I were a twenty dollar bill
I'd live in your pocket until
you lost me in some damn poker game
with only your bad judgement to blame
If I were the other woman's arms
I would be captive to your charms
I'd laugh at just the slightest touch
and fall victim to your wicked ways and such
Chorus:
Lead:
Chorus:
Tag: and you'll never hear from me again
