Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
You're going round the circle through another phase. Your temperature rising You're wining and dining A girl who's half your age. She gives you all the business she gives to older men And it's oh so understandable this ladykiller move. There must be something bottled up You think you gotta prove. 'Cause now that you're a member of something on the side It's number one Two Three Four Five Six Seven year Can you control the bitch? One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Can you control the itch? To tell the truth you're old enough to be her Dad. She ain't gonna let up She wants you to set up a cosy little pad Where she can entertain you and everything is free. I can tell you always were a sucker for a pretty face. The nights you're home a Romeo'll be there to take your place. 'Cause now that you're a member of something on the side ... You tell the wife another business trip abroad. It's getting too much You better not touch What you cannot afford. I know it's monkey business and I've seen it all before. And I know that you were overcome When she told you you're the best. You better believe she's saying the same to me And all the rest. 'Cause now that you're a member of a little bit on the side ... One Two Three Four Five Six Seven year One Two Three Four Five Six Seven year One Two Three Four Five Six Seven year.
