Well, you can't deny how good he looks Couldn't find another on the cover of a book Believe me Well, I've almost loved him once or twice [Chorus] But don't be fooled by his innocent smile He's clever as the devil and just as wild He's crazy But a little crazy is kinda nice He's a heartache Lookin' for a place to happen Lookin' for a little action Livin' for the moment not for lovin' He's a heartache Lookin' for a place to happen Temporary satisfaction If you try to hold on he's gone Well, I might as well tell someone else I know I'll never have him to myself Not likely But I wouldn't mind just one more night If he wants to hold you, let it be Don't pass up the opportunity To know him You won't forget him all your life But whatever you do be wise enough Not to fall in love [Chours] But whatever you do be wise enough Not to fall in love [Chorus]
