"the girl in the polka dot dress" lyrics

That night in cold Colorado
You told me more than you oughta
And I drank the nectar
But not from the bottle
The dazzling glow of your eyes

You held my hand on the swing set
Kind of treatment that kings get
You told me act more and think less
Or lonely is all that I'd find

Oh, come on now, honey
And put down your books
Let's go out for a while
And get by on your looks
Hang the keys to our hearts
Somewhere high on a hook
Ain't no ladder been built yet can reach, oh

What you deserve are the roses
Perched there in elegant poses
A good man who's lucky and knows it
Who is handsome, and charming, and kind

When I come back from the brink
That poor man's station will sink
He'll become wretched as me
He can borrow, but can't keep what's mine

Oh, come on now, honey
And put down your books
Let's go out for a while
And get by on your looks
Hang the keys to our hearts
Somewhere high on a hook
Ain't no ladder been built yet can reach

Oh, come on now, honey
And put down your books
Let's go out for a while
And get by on your looks
Hang the keys to our hearts
Somewhere high on a hook
Ain't no ladder been built yet can reach, oh
