One for the Ladies.

You shouldn't trust me baby
No you shouldn't trust me babe
My heart hasn't learned from mistakes I've made

Don't you hear me baby?
No can't you hear me babe?
My eyes been tellin lies, it ain't no holiday parade

Yes, my eyes been tellin' lies
They've lost their honest look
Next time I see you babe I may be hanging off the hook

But maybe I could try just one more time
Each time I see you babe, you get me hypnotized

So just move on down the road
Go on, do what you've been told
This heart is too heavy for even your strong hands to hold

But don't you say goodbye
No don't you make me cry
Everybody has to pay for the soul they've sold

Now this may be the very last straw
This may be the line I hear-by draw
So don't you come a-knockin'
Unless you want to take the chance,
To give it up one more time in those Fancy Pants

Now you're towing that heavy line
Thinking everything's just fine
Rolling off your back like the dew rolls down a vine
But you just won't let it be
No there's visions you see
Motion pictures
Moving through the back of your memories

One of these days, you might come back around
And I'll be standing steady while you're shaking on a breakdown

But don't you come a knockin'
unless you want to take the chance
That this might mean more
than just some midnight dance

No don't you come a-knockin'
unless you want to take the chance
That this might mean more
than just your Fancy Pants
