GCadd9
Well, I've been swinging through these swinging doors for, aww
DGCadd9D
Going on probably about 9 years now, maybe even 10
GCadd9D
And I watch old Joe at the end of the bar with another hot woman on his one good arm
GCadd9DGCadd9D
And they walk out for a while and he comes back in smiling, again
[Verse 2]
GCadd9D
So I finally had to ask old Joe, "Man, what's your secret to success
GCadd9D
Your power of persuasion over the opposite sex"
GCadd9
And he says, "Son, well, honestly, it's pretty simple
DGCadd9DGCadd9
He said, "I just kinda walk up and buy her drink and open up my mouth and lie"
[Pre-Chorus]
DG
I tell her I'm a movie star
Cadd9DG
I just flew into town to buy this bar
Cadd9DGCadd9D
I'm only here tonight, that's right
GCadd9DG
I gotta go, yeah, we're filming on location down in Mexico
Cadd9DG
Would you believe that I got the leading role?
Cadd9DGCadd9D
That's right, honey, I beat out a lot of folks that you'd probably know"
[Chorus]
GCadd9D
Oh, a man has got to do what a man's gotta do
GCadd9D
Anything it takes to make her think you're cool
Cadd9D
Ah, you got nothing to lose, so go on and try
GCadd9DD7
Just walk right up and smile and look her dead in the eye
GCadd9D
And lie
GCadd9D
That's right lie
[Verse 3]
GCadd9DGCadd9D
So I tried and tried a couple weekends and it was like strike 1, strike 2, strike out again
G
But I narrowed it down, and I scratched it out
Cadd9DG
And I came up with something that without a doubt I knew
Cadd9D
I was gonna make old Joe proud and I go up and I'd say
[Pre-Chorus]
GCadd9DG
Hi Honey, whatcha doing for the rest of your life
Cadd9DG
I've been waiting such a long, long time
Cadd9
And you know what honey?
DGCadd9D
Meeting you here, man, it just really feels like fate
GCadd9DG
Oh I, I bet you didn't see me as a marrying type
Cadd9DGCadd9
Let's take it slow I don't just want one night, oh no darling
DG
If you're looking for that you might as well look somewhere else
Cadd9D
Well, because I'm just not that kind of guy
G
And kids, oh I love kids
Cadd9DG
Dogs, in-laws, and a piece of land
Cadd9DG
Dirty diapers in my mini van
Cadd9DGCadd9D
Aw man, I can hardly wait
[Chorus]
GCadd9D
Oh, a man has got to do what a man's gotta do
GCadd9D
Anything it takes to make her think you're cool
Cadd9D
Ah, you got nothing to lose, so go on and try
GCadd9DD7
Just walk right up and smile and look her dead in the eye
[Outro]
G
And lie
Cadd9DG
That's right, you gotta lie
Cadd9DG
Sometimes you gotta lie
