Vegas Women
Well, I met you in Vegas
there were neon lights in your eyes.
You asked me to spot you a twenty.
I guess I wasn't surprised.
We pulled the handles and pressed our luck,
all the way until dawn.
Then we went back to our room,
and there we
Got it on, got it on , got it on.
Well, I woke up the next day
I guess it was around four.
I looked for you.
only heard a knock on the door.
I seen the handle turn
as the chamber maid walked in.
I was lying naked on the floor
with a half empty bottle
Of seagrams gin, seagrams gin, seagrams gin.
Now unlike most women
who have seen me naked
she didn't turn away.
Instead she grabbed a paper cup
and fixed herself a drink.
She boy I'd be lying if I said
I aint seen this before.
I bet there ain't no money
in that wallet on the floor.
Chorus:
Boy don't you know better than
to gamble in love.
Them Vegas women like to
shoot when push comes to shove.
Take my advice
and be your own kind of man
Don't live your life saying
Yes darling and
no ma'am, no ma'am, no ma'am.
Well I met you at Mardi Gras
you were showing your tits to everyone.
You asked me to buy you a drink
and I shore needed one.
so we poked our heads into
the nearest watering hole.
And there I bought you a hurricane,
and then I bought you
six more, six more, six more.
We went back out to the streets
to watch the parade go by.
We wrestled for some beads
you punched me in the eye.
I guess all of the excitement
got me kind of turned on,
cause we went back to my room
and there
We got it on, got it on, got it on.
I woke up the next day
I guess it was about four.
I looked for you
only heard a knock on the door.
I seen the handle turn
as the chamber maid walked in.
I was lying naked on the floor
with a half empty bottle of,
Seagrams gin , seagrams gin, seagrams gin.
Now unlike most women
who seen me naked
she didn't turn away.
instead she grabed
a paper cup and
fixed herself a drink.
She said boy I'd be lying
if I said I ain't seen this before and
I bet there ain't no money
in that wallet on the floor.
Chorus:
Boy don't you know better
than to gamble in love
them New Orleans women
like to shoot when
push comes to shove.
take my advice and
be your own kind of man,
don't live your life saying,
Yes darling and,
No ma'am, no ma'am, no ma'am.
