Payin' For It Now

Met her in a night club

Alvey's hideaway

I could tell by looking at her

That she had come to play

Bought her three gin and tonics

And we told each other lies

Then I headed to the motel

With my little prize

And I'm payin' for it now

Payin' for it now

She's gone and so's my wallet

And I'm payin' for it now

Girl took off, and took all my duckets

Then I ran into Maggie

Old friend of mine

She said, "Let's do some reminiscing"

"Go and get some wine."

She could drink just like a sailor

Got as drunk as I could be

By the time the night was over, yeah

The joke it was on me

And I'm payin' for it now

Payin' for it now

She took me off the market

And I'm paying for it now

She was soft and friendly

And willing as can be

Had a pretty little tattoo

Right above her knee

I got it down to business

Then I fell asleep

She said I made her promises, promises

That she's expecting me to keep

And I'm payin' for it now

Payin' for it now

That girl was talkin' marriage

And I'm payin' for it now

Well I should have got suspicious

When she started acting nice

Should have read the signals

Should have thought about it twice

For eleven days running

She was cozy in the night

And when she laid it on me

You know, I didn't even fight

And I'm payin' for it now

Oh Lord, I'm payin' for it now

Here comes her mother with her suitcase

And I'm payin' for it now

No, not my mother-in-law

Jeez, her daughter

No, no, no
