LOVE ME . . . LOVE MY CHORES
I asked you to mow my lawn . . .
instead ya mowed me down!
I asked ya to plant some 'maters . . .
ya left and hiked ta town!
I coulda used some pretty daisies . . .
all us girls do.
Guess who stole me some roses? . . .
betcha haven't got a clue.
I think I shoulda warned ya . . .
the dog that's at the gate --
Oh, well, I guess ya found out . . .
he ain't yer "old Jake" -
Now that ya outrun the dawg . . .
way past the gate --
Don't ya remember him now? . . .
ya swapped him to Nate --
So we'll keep it in your family . . .
like good families do . . .
You sneak in on Mondays . . .
maybe Thursdays, too --
Next time ya'll remember . . .
before it's too late --
Us hearty, lusty country gals . . .
don't ever care to wait!
