Misunderstandings

(To the tune of an old Blues beat in 4/4)

Girl o' mine, ain't she sweet?
She's got a hell of a dance to my beat.
But she got her dangers, too.
And if you don't know, let me give you a clue...

One...night, after the show,
A honey comes by, wants to give a blow...
Of a sweet trombone that she learned as a child.
But I swear upon my Savior that my woman went wild!


(She went...)
Whip! Crack!
Across my back!
The birdie that I loved went on the attack! (I said...)
Whip! Crack!
Across my back!
She really made me wonder why I ever go back...

(Now...)
I'm in looove, I really must say.
I thank my Lord above for her every day.
But sometimes, sometimes I really wonder why...
And if you don't know, let me give you a sign.

One night, I was havin' a drink
And a red-haired girl asked me what do you think?
Of her generous...smile, that ran for miles.
But, hey, what do ya know, my good woman went wild...

(She went)
Whip! Crack!
Across my face...
My woman really wonders if I know my place. (She went)
Whip! Crack!
Across my eyes...
And then my pretty woman, Lord, she said goodbye...

Said goodbye! My heart was 'bout to BREAK!
I knew right then, I had made a mistake!
And I wailed so hard a couple ladies came by...
But my lady walked in, when she heard my cries!

(And then)
Whip! Crack!
Across them girls!
Oh, the very evil words that my woman could hurl! She went...
Whip! Crack!
Across me, too...
And that was sure as hell not the last thing she do, she went!

Hook! Smack!
Right in my gut...
And I was prayin' for forgiveness, but she wouldn't hear 'but' (She went)
Click! Pow!
Right into my heart...
My pretty little woman, man, she blew me apart...

(Ohhh)
Whip! Crack!
And now I know...!
Go back to your woman, brothers, after the show, I said!
Click! Pow!
She knocked out my soul...
And that pretty little woman put me into....a......hoooooooooole...
