Now she don't know where she is, how sexy she can be
She don't realise what her eyes do to me She keeps me hot, like a boilin' pot She whispers in my ear, "Let's do it right here" The ways of a wantin' woman aren't a mystery The style she has will never fade as long as she's havin' me She keeps me hot, like a boilin' pot She whispers in my ear, "Let's do it right here" She keeps me hot, like a boilin' pot Burning right through the night It don't take long for her to catch my eye When she wants to suck me in, it's easy as pie She keeps me hot, like a boilin' pot Burning right through the night |

I can't read and I can't write
And I don't know my left from right I can't tell if the sun's gonna shine And I don't know if you'll ever be mine But I'll make love to you any old time I can't swim and I can't fly I ain't no fish, I ain't no bird in the sky I can't tell if the sun's gonna shine And I don't know if you'll ever be mine But I'll make love to you any old time I can't count from one to ten And I don't know the shape I'm in I can't tell if the sun's gonna shine And I don't know if you'll ever be mine But I'll make love to you any old time |

Somebody touched me late last night Had this woman and I still feel right Some kind of feeling up and down my spine Plays with my head and mess with my mind She tickled my toe and she kissed my ear Told me not to worry, told me not to fear Oo-wee, she felt good to me Gotta have another, just like the other Last night brother was too much for me I felt like a junkie couldn't score no dope I buzzed the brass then I lost all hope Laying down woman, she got me too hot We had a little drink, and we smoked a little pot All I knew was something happened to me I was inconspicuous as anyone could be She set me on fire, I'm telling you Let me tell you brother, I didn't know what to do Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's not Sometimes you get it and sometimes you're got Oo-wee, it felt good to me Gotta have another, just like the other Last night brother was too much for me |

Don't take her for granted, she has a hard time Don't misunderstand her or play with her mind Treat her so gently, it will pay you in time You've got to know she's the sensitive kind Tell her you love her, each and every night And you will discover she will treat you right If you believe, I know you will find There ain't nothing like the sensitive kind She gets lonely waiting for you You are the only thing to help her through Don't take her for granted, she has a hard time You've got to know she's the sensitive kind |

Spending my life in a cold hard bar-room Drinking that long black whisky down I play the guitar, for me it's a living Well, I know, just a hanging-around Dancing girls, oh, they drive me crazy All they want is a fancy name Don't you know is I might not make it That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man Yeah, been down to the palace of pleasure Honky-tonk, where I come from Smoke's so thick I can't imagine Wine flows fast by the rule of a gun One of these mornings it'll come up Sunday I won't have a good time again That time ain't now, it's a whole new dream That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man One more night, one more dollar One more song, can you do it again I don't know, I may not make it That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man |

Mona, she comes in the morning
She brings me a bottle of wine She comes to my bed, soothes up my head Makes me feel alright Makes me feel alright Mona, she comes on a Friday She stays in to the night Mona, she comes to my bedroom To keep my spirits high To keep my spirits high Mona, she brings me no money She brings me no food All she brings is her sweet, sweet love Makes my afternoon Makes my afternoon When daylight falls from my window Another night's come and gone I always know 'cause I'm feeling so low Mona, you know she has gone Mona, you know she has gone |
