I was courting a Southern belle.
|
Her daddy was a rich 'un, too.
|
Sports car outside her door,
|
She was pretty good looking, too.
|
|
You call me up, want me to come over
|
When the servants are all in bed.
|
And she said,
|
"Daddy's on a flight tonight.
|
Does that put any ideas in your head?"
|
|
I say to her:
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Take it all the way.
|
Can you really take it all the way down?
|
Can you really take it all the way down, down, down?
|
Down, down, down.
|
|
So we watch a little TV,
|
I drink up the family wine.
|
She said, "You're such a snake in the grass, boy.
|
But tonight, you're mine."
|
|
But wait a minute, wait a minute, baby.
|
Are you tryin' to make a fool out of me?
|
She said, "I've seen men like you before.
|
I've got a long family tree."
|
|
And she said to me:
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Take it all the way.
|
Can you really take it all the way down?
|
Can you really take it all the way down, down, down?
|
And I say to myself: Even a fool like me can be the loving kind.
|
Even a fool like me can be the loving kind.
