Anne Wilson - Red Flag Lyrics

Don't sell yourself short, girl
He's gotta love you, but he's gotta love Jesus
Just a little more, girl
It's worth waiting for, girl

Where'd he come from?
Is he big-city pretty or sweating for a dollar 'til the day is done?
Is hard work what he runs from?

At the end of the day, my mama said
"Some flags are green and some flags are red."

He's a "no go" if he don't go to church
Better slow down if he ain't down to Earth
If he don't go hunting and don't go fishing
You might as well throw him back
If he don't R-E-S-P-E-C-T
The stars and the stripes in the land of the free
Better run away fast 'cause a boy like that
Is a walking, talking, waving red flag
Red flag
Oh, he's red flag
A red flag

Does it make sense, girl?
Do you see him jumping off a fence
And buying you a white-picket-fence world
Or just got you for rent, girl?

He's a "no go" if he don't go to church
Better slow down if he ain't down to Earth
If he don't go hunting and don't go fishing
You might as well throw him back
If he don't R-E-S-P-E-C-T
The stars and the stripes in the land of the free
Better run away fast 'cause a boy like that
Is a walking, talking, waving red flag
A red flag
Oh, he's red flag
No, he's a red flag

Some red flags don't know the golden rule
Some red flags don't own a pair of boots

He's a "no go" if he don't go to church
Better slow down if he ain't down to Earth
If he don't go hunting and don't go fishing
You might as well throw him back
If he don't R-E-S-P-E-C-T
The stars and the stripes in the land of the free
Better run away fast 'cause a boy like that
Is a walking, talking, waving red flag

Red flag
Sail away from a
Red flag
Mama warned ya
Red flag
Oh, he's a-
