She’s got everything a man could ever ask for.
She is lovely, brighter than a morning star.
She is so beautiful, portrait of a sunset.
She got everything, including my old car.

Next time you see her, tell her that I love her.
Next time you see her, tell her that I care.
Next time you see her, tell her that I love her.
Next time I see you, boy you’d better beware.

I’m just trying to warn you that you’re bound to get hurt.
I couldn’t be her last love, so how could you be her first?
I want to tell you, buddy, things are bound to get rough.
I know that she’s only flirting, but I think that I’ve had enough.

And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.
And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.

And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.
And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.
