Lyrics
When you started looking,
It had been a long time
Anything new might have caught your eye
Getting your head turned, well that?s no crime
You got hooked in, thinking you were blessed
Bought a lone basket for all your eggs
The chick that comes first
Doesn?t have to be the best
pick up your pride,
Put it in your suitcase
Lose that girl
Don?t hang around
'cause you?re scared of being lonely
You?re the only one you gotta face in the morning
Pick up your pride,
Put it in your suitcase
Lose that girl
Don?t hang around
Go out looking for the real thing
A make a deal thing, find your one & only
You made excuses, said you?d past your prime
Tried somethin? different then what you had
A week on the wild side, was not that bad
But the truth is, you?re sellin? yourself short
Lift up your chin man and set your sights
A week only adds up to seven nights
So you think to wait for love
Might mean you wait in so you lock yourself away
& stay restrained by a ball & chain
CHORUS:
