Across Five Aprils - Tallahassee's For Hookers Lyrics

Raw dog or no dog baby
You've got the move that's gonna drive me crazy
Don't look at me like you're about to take off,
you're gonna see me when you dream
Cause right now, it might seem shady
Keep the faith and tell me "maybe"
Cause in a minute the means will justify
an end that's gonna make you scream

I give you credit more than I think I should,
but looking at it, you seem like the tool that would
fall for any guy who lives a life on the road
You're getting starry eyes just because you were told
And he could see you look at him from across the room
And everything you heard about him is so untrue
Another drink for you is gonna make it easy to see,
you're the lucky girl coming home

Raw dog or no dog baby
You've got the move that's gonna drive me crazy
Don't look at me like you're about to take off
You're gonna see me when you dream
Bring over your friend Sally,
Cause three's a crowd, but not in Tally
Cause in a minute the means will justify
an end that's gonna make you scream

And please don't be the one who needs to be
just another victim on a Saturday night
You come with me, I'll show you the light
Please don't make me be the one you need
to be another victim on a Saturday night
You come with me, I'll show you the light

I know you wanted hope,
but I left it on the dance floor
Who wants this beauty queen?
Not me!
Who wants this queen of scene?
Tell her she lost the king
Come claim your beauty queen
She's free from me!
Come take the queen of scene
Cause she's got no need for me
Breathe deep
Breathe deep
Breathe deep

I give you credit more than I think I should,
but looking at it, you seem like the tool that would
fall for any guy who lives a life on the road
You're getting starry eyes just because you were told
And he could see you look at him from across the room
And everything you heard about him is so untrue
Another drink for you is gonna make it easy to see,
you're the lucky girl coming home

Please don't be the one who needs to be
just another victim on a Saturday night
You come with me, I'll show you the light
Please don't make me be the one you need
to be another victim on a Saturday night
You come with me, I'll show you the light

When I look back, on all the things that let us be
Your hope may still linger here, but you couldn't handle me
When I look back, on all the things that let us be
Your hope may still linger here, but you couldn't handle me
You couldn't handle me
You couldn't handle, me
You couldn't, handle me
You couldn't, handle me
