"Advance Romance" lyrics

"Advance Romance"

No more credit
From the liquor store
Suit is all dirty, my
Shoes is all wore
Tired and lonely, my
Heart is all sore
Advance romance
I can't stand it no more

She told me she loved me
I believed what she said
Took me for a sucker, boy
All corn-fed
Next thing I knew
She had a bolt on the door
Advance romance
I can't use it no more

She took André's watch
Like they always do
(It was a Timex, too!)
(Wah-Hoo-Hoo
Wah-Hah-Hoo-Hoo)
(And-a shame on you)
No more money, boy
I shoulda knew
(I tried to tell you)
(Well, I didn't listen)
(He wouldn't listen to me)
(I couldn't listen to ya...)
(I said look it here, when you go to Australia, don't be messin' around with no kangaroos, and the sheep and lamb)
The way she do me, boy
She might do you, too
The way she do me, boy
She might do you, too
The way she do me, boy
She might do you, too
(Now, look what she did to André tonight, with that wig and everything!)

Advance romance
Oh, people we are through

Potato-head Bobby
Was a friend of mine
Opened three of his eyes
In the food stamp line
He opened four of his eyes
In the food stamp line
He opened three of his eyes
In the food stamp line
He opened six of his eyes
In the food stamp line
But, Frank, you know she might be a devil
They go blue poppin' eyes
Might be a devil
Horns... little thing in the wagon...
Might be a devil... really, little thing... pointed...
... wagon... you know
Advance romance
He wanna try it one time
He said he don't mind

Later that night
He drop on by
Told her all he want to do
Was step up and say "Hi"
(Hi-Hi, Hi-Hi, Hi-Hi, Hi-Hi
Hi-Hi, Hi-Hi, Hi-Hi, Hi-Hi)
Half an hour later
She had frenched his fry
Advance romance
Bobby, say good-bye
(Bye bye!)

Advance romance
Bobby, say good-bye
