Lyrics:
Well, you're not a pretty picture
No you're not a pretty girl
And the thing that's got you lyin'
Could make your head turn
You ask about forgiveness
Why don't we mention some respect
You said you want some of my business
Baby, I must object, yeah
I must object

And of all of the things that you had to say
Tell me baby what if tomorrow never ever came

Say you catch a fever
Say you call out my name
I could take it or I could leave it
And never catch no blame
Everyone talking
About the hard road you ride
Baby that sure sounds like squawkin'
And I push it aside

Listen to me baby

And of all of the things that you throw away
Tell me baby what if tomorrow never ever ever came
Cause of all of these words that you throw away
One just might come right back, yeah
And haunt your dyin day
Just might haunt your dyin day
You best to believe it

???? you believe it
That ain't no sweat off my back, no no yeah

And of all of these things that you had to say
Tell me baby girl what if tomorrow never ever ever ever woman came
Tell me baby
Tell me how do you know if you're ever wide-awake
Tell me how it feels baby
If you are ever wide-awake
Look straight ahead for heaven's sake
Find in your heart that you believe is true
Don't those little things ever once appear to come clear to you

I can feel it
I'm gonna bring it on home yeah
I wanna feel it
Ooh, I wanna feel it, yeah yeah yeah

Ooh yeah (x4)
