I said, you might as well forget that you will go to heaven
Because it's got to be a sin to look that good
I hope a fireman is close because you're smoking
And a dream's never come true 'til I met you
Tell me, have you always been this cute or did you work it
Are you a ticket 'cuz the word stamped on you says fine
And I will bet that you can't wait until tomorrow
'Cuz you're more beautiful each day passing in time
Then you said, "Awww...what a line!"
You said, "No, but good try."
How 'bout, the time I said you look so good I'd like to plant you
So that I'd have a great big field of you next fall
Or the time I said my Lord your legs must be strong
'Cuz you've been running through my mind all the day long
And you said, "Awww...what a line!"
And you said, "Awww...what a line!"
What a line
Somehow I want to prove to you
That every word I say is true
Yet you say the lines I use
They just won't work
So I will try one time again
Because this feat will never end
The time for truth is now at hand
For what it's worth...
One day, when I was standing on the porch of my hotel room
Looking past the walls and sand upon the beach
As the sun was setting gently on the water
The ocean's color turned to one I'd never seen
Then I, swore I'd never see again something so pretty
It's matchless beauty was beyond all I could find
Then I told you that was true until the moment
That I held you and looked deep into your eyes
Then you said, "Awww...are you sure?"
You said with tears, "That's a first."
As I held you in my arms and then looked deep into your eyes
I said that are you sure that that one will not work?
Then you said, "Awww...what a line!"
You said, "No, but good try."
You said, "Awww...what a line!"
What a line.
(The unpublished verse)
Can I, ask if that top you're wearing is something that is felt
If it is not is it what you would like to be?
They say that milk is known to do the body real good
So tell me girl just how much is it did you drink
I just, moved you up in what I call my big "to do" list
Your clothes would look real good in heaps beside my bed
And the very last of all the things I will say
Can I stand here 'til it is clear back where I farted
Then you said, "Awww...what a line!"
You said, "No, but good try."
You said, "Awww...what a line!"
