Come Back Next Week


(Verse 1)
I went down to a honky tonk bar
To try out some of my moves
I was waiting for a girl to bite

She looked at me and said "You lose"
I asked her why she didn't like me
Why she didn't want me to stay
She said it's not you honey
It's just that your beard's too grey

(Verse 2)
The next week I dyed that thing
Till it was black as midnight
I went back to the honky tonk
To see if she would bite

I shimmied up to her and asked
How she liked the new me
She turned me down for a second time
'Cuz my clothes were too Seventies


(Chorus)

What can I do to change things
I'm reaching the end of my tether
Will I ever find that special one
I'm starting to think maybe never
















(Verse 3)
I spent a fortune on a new look
I bought some new clothes too
The coolest jackets, shirts and pants
Le Sensa, and Jimmy Choo

I Went back down to the honky tonk
Sidled up to you know who
This time my hair was too short
And my eyes they weren't blue

(Verse 4)
I spent another thousand bucks
On contact lenses, baby blue
I got hair extensions added
All the way down to my shoes

I went back to the honky tonk
To claim what awaited me there
But she'd run off the day before
With a chubby millionaire

(Chorus)
What can I do to change things
I'm reaching the end of my tether
Will I ever find that special one
I'm starting to think maybe never
