Lyrics

Well the River City Diner's just a half a block away
That's where you'll find 'em, they sit there nearly every day
And when the moon's right he likes to stop by here on his way home
I don't know where she goes, I don't know if she knows
But he leaves his cigarette butts and his clothes on my floor
And if he's feelin' awfully generous he might leave some money by the door
Just last week I was outside hangin' clothes
When I heard the gate open and I heard the gate close
He's as wild as the wind blowin' in, shakin' shingles from the roof
We went inside we went upstairs, he ran his fingers through my hair
He said his woman couldn't please him and of course he still cared
And I'm a sucker for pretty words but not a stickler for the truth
Because that man is hotter than a lighted cigarette
Faster than your old tomcat
He'll haunt you like a ghost
He'll promise you the moon
And then he's gone makes you think you're the only one
I oughta know better
But somehow I never learn
I thought of tellin' his old lady with a letter in the mail
I thought of movin' in with sister, put my house up for sale
I thought of buyin' me a shotgun to keep there by the door
But when it's been a week or two, I start lookin' for the moon
I put my best dress on and I spray a sweet perfume
And I pretend to read a novel while I wait on my front porch
Because that man is hotter than a lighted cigarette
Faster than your old tomcat
He'll haunt you like a ghost
He'll promise you the moon
And then he's gone makes you think you're the only one
I oughta know better
But somehow I never learn
And when I wake up he's always gone
I clean the bottles off the floor and put my clothes back on
I'm goin' out today, I'm gonna buy myself that gun
Because that man is hotter than a lighted cigarette
Faster than your old tomcat
He'll haunt you like a ghost
He'll promise you the moon
And then he's gone makes you think you're the only one
I oughta know better...
But that man is hotter than a lighted cigarette
Faster than your old tomcat
He'll haunt you like a ghost
He'll promise you the moon
And then he's gone makes you think you're the only one
I oughta know better
But somehow I never learn
