Lyrics
She had long brown hair all down her breast
Made me think about my future, made me think about my past
She was so pretty, as pretty as can be
And I thought, "My god, why shouldn't it be me?
Oh, oh god, why shouldn't it be me?"
Her skin was tight, her manner was free
She gave me that look that seemed to say, "Hey you, look at me"
Her smile was crooked and good as she sucked her capri
And I thought, "My God, why shouldn't it be me?"
"Oh come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, God, why shouldn't it be me?"
Her body was free
Her body was free
Her body was free
Wanna bet, so was her love
Wanna bet, so was her lo-lo-lo-lo-love
La la la, la la la, la la lo-ove
La la la, la la la, la la lo-ove
La la la, la la la, la la lo-ove
La la la
Don't tell me what's proper, anyone can see
I wasn't even her first, so don't blame it on me
She was so pretty, as pretty as can be
And I thought, "My god, why shouldn't it be me?"
"Oh come on, this once, once, once, once, Lord, why shouldn't it be me?"
Her body was free
Her body was free
Her body was free
Wanna bet, so was her love
Wanna bet, so was her lo-lo-lo-lo-love
La la la, la la la, la la lo-ove
La la la, la la la, la la lo-ove
La la la, la la la, la la lo-ove
La la la
Y'all read the bible, right?
You know what the bible says?
I'll tell you what it says
"Don't put a stumbling block in front of someone who can't see"
Don't put a beautiful body in front of someone who's hungry
She was so pretty, as pretty as can be
And I thought, "My God, why shouldn't it be me?"
"Oh come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, Lord, why shouldn't it be me?"
Her body was free
Her body was free
Her body was free
Wanna bet, so was her love
Wanna bet, so was her
La la la, la la la, la la lo-ove
La la la, la la la, la la lo-ove
La la la, la la la, la la lo-ove
La la la, la la la, la la lo-ove
Lo-o-ove, lo-o-ove, lo-o-ove
