Lyrics
(1)
He told her daddy he'd have her home by one
Her Dad said 'don't be late'
I don't wanna have to get my gun
And boy I know every parking place there is in this town
You see it's all about what you do
When nobody's around
(2)
He said you'll never have to worry sir cos' I got a plan
I'm gonna steal her heart and forever be her man
She's the closest thing to perfect that I've found
Yeah so I'm gonna marry her
So I can love her when nobody's around
(ch)
Being crazy keeps us from going insane
Just enough pleasure to drown out the pain
She makes me tremble,I make her ache
She's the icing on the top of my cake
Her momma likes me,her brothers wanna bury me
Six feet under the ground
But it's me she runs to when nobody's around
(brdg)
She's my once in a lifetime
A bonifide second chance
She says it doesn't matter who plays the music
If you didn't come here to dance
(3)
She ain't just a lover,she's my best friend
And she calls me her Superman every now and then
She's my long cool drink of water man just let me drown
It's in the way she kisses me when nobody's around
repeat ch.
