Live In Tampa Bay 1992

Lyrics

Hey

[Now my wife notices when I watch the other beautiful girls go by and I wrote this song about that,
Why shouldn't I notice them?
I notice handsome men too I notice,
When I was a little kid I used to be afraid to say when I could tell another guy was handsome you know,
But I knew, I could tell
Hell, I look at good looking dogs and cats and stuff and cars and things
So it's only natural that I should notice beautiful women and their bums and stuff like that]

Well now you looking you looking you looking
When I'm watching the different girls passing by
Don't you know that I couldn't lose this love
Even if I try

All my friends would laugh if they knew, yeah
Cause if anybody don't need to worry girl
It's you yeah

[If anyone, you've heard me sing all these songs about her already tonight, you know,
You can never promise the future,
But if anyone doesn't need to worry it's her
What do you mean you can never promise the future?
Aren't you and her married?
Sort of, but we never got, we just are married, we didn't like,
I never like proposed you know, I never did
It was just the way we were
But no I never like, got married
We celebrated one day but we just made up the celebration you know
It was like a party, you know, it was like a party you know]

Well now you watching you watching you watching
When I'm watching those different girls go their way, go their way
Don't you know that I couldn't lose this love
One sunny day no
Now, don't you think that girl's kinda pretty (you can tell another girl's pretty)
Pay her a compliment when it's due, yeah
Cause if anybody don't need to worry girl
It's you

Cause if anyone don't need to worry girl
It's you it's you

Lyrics

[Let's do another one of them songs before we do intermission,
Gonna do one, we're taking intermission so it's ok,
If you like it we're coming right back,
It's ok, you're happy now, it's good,
And our intermissions aren't long like bad,
You've heard of bad intermissions before,
No no these are good intermissions, it's ok

See I would look at other beautiful women when I was walking with her,
And she would notice,
And I would say "look, just cause we're together, that didn't mean I went blind right?"
If anyone doesn't need to worry though, or be jealous, I would say it's you]
