| Met her in a night club
|
| Alvey’s hideaway
|
| I could tell by looking at her
|
| That she had come to play
|
| Bought her three gin and tonics
|
| And we told each other lies
|
| Then I headed to the motel
|
| With my little prize
|
| And I’m payin' for it now
|
| Payin' for it now
|
| She’s gone and so’s my wallet
|
| And I’m payin' for it now
|
| Girl took off, and took all my duckets
|
| Then I ran into Maggie
|
| Old friend of mine
|
| She said, «Let's do some reminiscing»
|
| «Go and get some wine.»
|
| She could drink just like a sailor
|
| Got as drunk as I could be By the time the night was over, yeah
|
| The joke it was on me And I’m payin' for it now
|
| Payin' for it now
|
| She took me off the market
|
| And I’m paying for it now
|
| She was soft and friendly
|
| And willing as can be Had a pretty little tattoo
|
| Right above her knee
|
| I got it down to business
|
| Then I fell asleep
|
| She said I made her promises, promises
|
| That she’s expecting me to keep
|
| And I’m payin' for it now
|
| Payin' for it now
|
| That girl was talkin' marriage
|
| And I’m payin' for it now
|
| Well I should have got suspicious
|
| When she started acting nice
|
| Should have read the signals
|
| Should have thought about it twice
|
| For eleven days running
|
| She was cozy in the night
|
| And when she laid it on me
|
| You know, I didn’t even fight
|
| And I’m payin' for it now
|
| Oh Lord, I’m payin' for it now
|
| Here comes her mother with her suitcase
|
| And I’m payin' for it now
|
| No, not my mother-in-law
|
| Jeez, her daughter
|
| No, no, no |
