[Verse]
[Main Riff]
I used to be good, I got nowhere. I don't understand.
Take you to a movie show, I just wanna hold your hand.
Walk you right up to your door square as can be.
You're a sweet talkin' daddy she said but you're just not for me
[Bridge]

Diamond ring, don't mean a thing.

Brang you roses, case closes.

Now I never treat a woman too good and change my style.
They like to stick with gamblers and drunks and cheaters and lies.

The ladies that like hanging in juke joints are never satisfied.
Show 'em the size of your heart, they'll take you for a ride.
So Never ever treat 'em too good, you know you won't stand a chance.
Between getting beat up, slapped down there's no time for romance.
[Chorus]
