[Chorus:] Well I really had a ball last night I held all the pretty boys tight I was feelin' single seein' double Wound up in a whole lot of trouble But today I'll face the big fight but I really had a ball last night When I came home from work this mornin' My baby was feelin' low And he told me what was on his mind Then he told me where I could go Well I didn't want to go where he told me to 'Cause the water was cold in the lake
Now there's somethin' fishy 'bout this whole deal I don't see where I made my mistake [Chorus] When I woke up this mornin' Like me the sun was high Well I started walkin' the long way home Just to think of an alibi Well I couldn't think of a doggone thing That hadn't already been said So I guess I better just play it by ear For I'm already dead [Chorus] But today I'll face the big fight but I really had a ball last night
