Skinny Legs
Lyle Lovett (c) 1994
from the album "I Love Everybody"
See that boy with that guitar
He's got skinny legs like I always wanted
A girlfriend in his car 'cause he's got
Skinny legs like I always wanted
Now sister look at me again
Well, you'd love me if I was as skinny as him
2. And see that boy with that guitar
He's got a shirt and tie like I always wanted
A girlfriend in his car 'cause he's got
A shirt and tie like I always wanted
Now sister look at me again
Well, you'd love me if I was a dresser like him
3. And see that boy with that guitar
He's got a blue Toyota like I always wanted
A Japanese girl in his car 'cause he's got
A blue Toyota like I always wanted
Now sister look at me again
Well, you'd love me if I was a driver like him
4. And see that boy with that guitar
He's got a baby face like I always wanted
A girlfriend in his car 'cause he's got
A baby face like I always wanted
Now sister look at me again
Well, you'd love me if I was a looker like him
5. And see that boy with that guitar
He's got a little round ... like I always wanted
A girlfriend in his car 'cause he's got
A little round ... like I always wanted
Now sister look at me again
Well, you'd love me if I had a ... like him
You'd love me if that were my rear end
(bridge)
But legs they come and faces go
Just like old Toyotas
The Jap girl dumped my ass and stole my clothes
She took my car and left me singing
See that boy with that guitar
He's got skinny legs like I always wanted
A girlfriend in his car 'cause he's got
Skinny legs like I always wanted
Skinny legs like I always wanted
