Lyric
I been watchin’ you watchin’ her watchin’ herself in the mirror,In her tailor-made dress an’ her long blonde hair,An’ her big diamond rings, her custom-made shoes.And I can by the look on your face that you’re makin’ your move,But she hasn’t got time for a man who’s tongue-tied.An’ she doesn’t like cowboys an’ thinks less of fools.So, boy, don’t you saddle yourself to a high-tone woman.She’ll cut up your heart like an’ old credit card,When the fun and the money runs out.I’ve never seen an uptown, well-read thoroughbred,High-tone woman sink as low as you.Hey, I’m on your side; don’t go gettin’ me wrong, now,You’re not a bad fellow at all.But you’re out of her league so stay in the bleachers,Son, you couldn’t please her if you had it all.So, boy, don’t you saddle yourself to a high-tone woman.She’ll cut up your heart like an’ old credit card,When the fun and the money runs out.You’re a fool if you saddle yourself to a high-tone woman. (I seen her.)I’ve seen her cut up a heart like an’ old credit card,When the fun and the money runs out.I’ve never seen an uptown, well-read thoroughbred,High-tone woman sink as low as you.Oh no, I’ve never seen an uptown, well-read thoroughbred,High-tone woman sink as low as you.
