verse
She's lookin' a little older, got some lines upon her face
but she still can make every guy's head turn when she walks into a place
She'll tell you she's been married a time or two
but that doesn't include a string of guys feeling black and blue
verse 2
Her voice is smoker raspy, she wheezes when she talks
her high heels and her fake boobs make her kinda' waddle when she walks
She's got the kind of look, makes other women roll their eyes
then quickly turn to catch their husbands staring at her thighs
chorus
Some things are too good to be true
Some things look better on the shelf than they do in the car driving home with you
You do what you're gonna do
I'd really rather not be the one you come crying to, when it all falls through
Instrumental section
verse 3
You're back out of the restroom, cheap cologne and slicked back hair
The vending machine guy had you in mind when he put those things in there
You're acting all excited, 'cause you think you caught her eye
Yeah, you and me and everyone here, at least if they're a guy
chorus
Some things are too good to be true
Some things look better on the shelf than they do in the car driving home with you
You do what you're gonna do
I'd really rather not be the one you come crying to, when it all falls through
Mmm.
Please don't you come crying to me, when it all falls through!
