She said you're a living legend I said thank you kindly ma'am
|
She said don't be so mug I don't mean good
|
I said I beg your pardon I just don't understand
|
She said that's all right I never thought you would
|
Oh she was a torpedo she got me in the engine
|
I never saw the bomb she threw at me
|
Oh she was a torpedo and when she exploded
|
I closed my eyes and sank beneath the sea
|
[ steel ]
|
She said I'd like to know you better I said honey here I am
|
She said don't move so fast I'm kind of shy
|
I said I beg you pardon she said I'm not that kind of girl
|
She took her beer and hit me in the eye
|
Oh she was a torpedo and I was her tanker
|
I knew right then she should be left alone
|
Oh she was a torpedo and I was her target
|
I closed my eyes and sank beneath the foam
|
[ guitar - steel ]
|
She said she'd never leave me and she'd treat me like a king
|
I told her that I'd love her all my life
|
She took me to the cleaners then she drove me up the wall
|
She borrowed my last dime and called my wife
|
Oh she was a torpedo and I was a tanker
|
I never should have met her in that bar
|
She was a torpedo and when she was loaded
|
She wrecked my life and then she wrecked my car
|
Oh she was a torpedo she got me in the engine
|
I never saw the bomb she threw at me
|
Oh she was a torpedo and when she exploded
|
I closed my eyes and sank beneath the sea
