The first thing she done when they set her free From the women's correctional facility Was to come here askin' me for a reconciliation She said she'd changed her ways for good And all she was, was misunderstood So I did everything I could for her rehabilitation Hook, line and sinker - I swallowed all of her lies Hook, line and sinker - she took me for a ride Just one look at that innocent face I didn't think twice, I just snapped up the bait Hook, line and sinker I helped her get on her feet again I get her a job out at the Dixie Inn I had to swear up and down to them That the girl could be trusted
Two nights later she cleaned them out She took my old Firebird and headed south And when the cops came to my house, buddy Guess who got busted? Hook, line and sinker - I swallowed all of her lies Hook, line and sinker - she took me for a ride Just one look at that innocent face I didn't think twice, I just snapped up the bait Hook, line and sinker When she told me how lonely she had been I should have seen she was only reelin' me in Hook, line and sinker Just one look at that innocent face I didn't think twice, I just snapped up the bait Hook, line and sinker
