I danced in the desert, in the pouring rain Drank with the devil and forgot my name Woke with somebody when the morning came No one there to shame me for my youth 'Cause I wouldn't be with you

And then I found me a lover who could play the bassHe's kinda quiet, but his body ain'tSpend the days dreaming and the nights awakeDoin' things we know we shouldn't do'Cause I wouldn't be with you

Says he can't believe he found meWraps his arms around meYeah-eah, eah-eah-eah-yeah

I can't let him inYou call me up and ask me how I've beenI'll call your bluff andKeep on telling, telling, telling you liesKeep on telling, telling, telling you liesNo, I can't let him inYou play me rough, but I won't let you inSo, call my bluff, I'llKeep on telling, telling, telling you liesKeep on telling, telling, telling you lies

Oh, count down to the day they may come true

And I fell for a vagabond, a month at topsLied and said his bike was in the "motor shopDrove my car once and made the tire popStill we had some fun, till I came to'Cause I wouldn't be with you

On the Fourth of July, I met a man, PierreLied about his age, but I didn't careSpoke in broken English but the heart was thereIn those eyes of sky and ocean blue'Cause I wouldn't be with you

Says he can't believe he found meWraps his arms around meYeah-eah, eah-eah-eah-yeah

I can't let him inYou call me up and ask me how I've beenI'll call your bluff andKeep on telling, telling, telling you liesKeep on telling, telling, telling you liesNo, I can't let them inYou play me rough, but I won't let you inSo, call my bluff, I'llKeep on telling, telling, telling you liesKeep on telling, telling, telling you lies

Oh, count down to the day they may come trueI'm counting dow-ow-ow-ow-ownI'm still so dow-ow-ow-ow-ownI'll come around
