Lyrics
She Was A Looker
Chorus
She was a looker and oh how he took her, he took her right into his arms
He left me there cryin’, sayin’ I’ll see you later darlin’
And thanks for all the good times.
I gave you your children I cooked and I cleaned
Everyday I picked up after you.
And how do you repay me you walk away
In the arms of somebody new.
Chorus
She was a looker and oh how he took her, he took her right into his arms
He left me there cryin’, sayin’ I’ll see you later darlin’
And thanks for all the good times.
I’m sittin’ here thinkin’ about you walking out
When I gave you my heart and my soul.
Well, what am I supposed to do without you now
How could you just up and go?
Chorus
She was a looker and oh how he took her, he took her right into his arms
He left me there cryin’, sayin’ I’ll see you later darlin’
And thanks for all the good times.
Well, three years later a word from the waiter
sayin’ that man would like a dance.
He left her cryin’ at the table and I was able
to give him a second chance.
Chorus
Yeah, She was a looker and oh how he took her, he took her right into his arms
He left me there cryin’, sayin’ I’ll see you later darlin’
And thanks for all the good times.
