Description
You ever date someone who you were a little suspect of? This girl was beautiful and fun to be with. But she had this way of asking for special treatment everywhere we went... a free drink here, better seats there, discounts on everything. With a little smile and “poor 'ol me” routine, she'd usually get it too! It got to the point where it seemed like she was playing everybody. When I worried that she was playing me, I got out of dodge!
Lyrics
She showered me with compliments I showered her with common sense It never seemed to oil the fire We tried to take it higher But the romance, it expired When I couldn't commit to buy the rings All I could see in her was how she played the angles She worked hard on me and worked it over time All I could see in her Was how she fixed the mileage She took three for her and left one for me She tried to sway my vigilance by casting off my temperance I never could play the part Cause what I saw I disapproved I couldn't really get the groove Of the woman with the scheming heart All I could see in her was how she played the angles She worked hard on me and worked it over time All I could see in her Was how she fixed the mileage She took three for her and left one for me Oh she always wanted more than I gave Nothing left over, nothing saved Oh, and she tried, & she tried, & she tried When the angles failed the problems multiplied We couldn't cross the great divide Ooo - When the angles failed it multiplied Ooo - We couldn't cross the great divide Ooo - When the angles failed it multiplied Ooo - We couldn't cross the great divide Poor little angler
