(John Curulewski)

I met a little girl sittin' in the front
|
pardon me miss for seeming quite so blunt
|
but your beauty and your presence
|
just took me by surprise
|
|
she said there's a meaning in my sexy stare
|
but that's my old man that's sittin' over there
|
and that's not the look of love that he's got for you in his eyes
|
|
you know what you've gotta do
|
there's no one else to blame but you
|
nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
|
|
you know what you've gotta do
|
there's no one else to blame but you
|
nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
|
|
I took her home and we was doing nip and tuck
|
how was I to know that I was out of luck
|
and before I knew it, the devil took my soul
|
|
in two weeks time it seemed to be the steady con
|
she told me "you're about to be a papa, John"
|
and I just looked around and tried to crawl into the nearest hole
|
|
you know what you've gotta do
|
there's no one else to blame but you
|
nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
|
|
you know what you've gotta do
|
there's no one else to blame but you
|
nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask

|
well, in two more weeks I started feelin' sore
|
I found myself waiting at my doctor's door
|
he said, "son I'm sorry but I've got some slightly less than tragic news
|
|
"yeah, it seems you've been sociable with certain she's
|
cause you've contracted what we call a social disease
|
and next time you better ask and use it, no don't refuse"
|
|
you know what you've gotta do
|
there's no one else to blame but you
|
nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
|
|
you know what you've gotta do
|
there's no one else to blame but you
|
nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
|
|
you know what you've gotta do
|
there's no one else to blame but you
|
nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
