She is twenty three now I see
her watching me at this wedding party
her boyfriend by her side, looks away when faced with my minds-eye. Oh young man, I feel for you.
With half a chance She's agreed to dance
with me you see, as I order another Jack Black
while thinking back, I realize....she is mine for the taking.
The Band plays the blues you understand, and after I ask him for her hand, I feel her, pressing into me, woman to man, and I ask myself...Can I afford the hangover?
After another Jack Black again I ask him for her hand
he says it's ok, I knew he'd understand, we do a nasty Mustang Sally in front of her man, she tells me...
"There's no ring yet", you see he doesn't have the balls
and as I smell her scent, I'm tempted to take her,
back to room three-o-nines walls, where forty five melts twenty three, as we would be one...for just a night
The song now has ended, she's like "what do ya say" as she whispers in my ear, "we gunna play"
I look over at him and realize...bad as I want to,
I cannot afford the hangover...
