Barflies and Cheaters.

Her lovely eyes

will surely woo you

till reality schools ya

that she’s just trying to fool ya

into buying her drinks…

she’ll get all touchy-feely

till you think that you’re really

getting lucky with her

until she’s gone with a wink.

Off to the ladies room

where she’ll touch up her perfume,

then head out the back doorway

to the next bar room…

you’ll  be looking all over

for that most friendly girl

with your wallet half empty

and your head in a whirl.

Chorus-

You’ve been bit by a barfly

a thirsty maggot with wings

feeding on your lust like trash

and “Hey man that’s gonna sting!”

if you’re looking for a woman

who is not playing tricks

you be better off just going

to some church picnics

you’ll save a whole lot of money

and you’ll find you a honey

with a much more sober lady to pick

If you’re a gal who goes out weekly

occupying bar stools

hoping to meet yourself a guy

whose suave and handsome and cool

you’d better scope out that fourth ring

finger on his left hand,

for a little white circle there

that hasn’t been tanned

don’t be his next concubine

sharing a love that is damned.

you’ll be bitten by a barfly

a thirsty maggot with wings

feeding on your lust like trash

and “Hey girl, that’s gonna sting!”

if you’re looking for man

and not a one night stand kick

you’d  be better off just going

to some church picnics

you’ll save yourself a lot of grief

with a man who won’t cheat

and maybe find a handsome hubby to pick.

So don’t be buying lots of drinks

for some girl whose gone with a wink,

and don’t be wooing a man

who’s ring finger’s  left un-tanned

Then you’ll find lots of  love that

doesn’t hoodwink….

Yeah, you’ll find lots of better

loving, I think.
