about

She seemed so nice at first. . .

lyrics

Why do I have to know w woman like that
I can't get that woman off my back
She comes around demanding a piece of my time
Why does she want to be a friend of mine

Well I met her several years ago when I was still a kid
She seemed to like something that I did
She'd call me in the middle of the night and ask me for advice
What I didn't realize then, that woman wasn't nice

Why do I have to know w woman like that
I can't get that woman off my back
She comes around demanding a piece of my time
Why does she want to be a friend of mine

As the years went by she wanted to be thicker than kin
And I couldn't get her unglued from my skin
Just like Uriah Heep she's an unctuous as they come
What does she want from me my friend I'm wonderin'

Why do I have to know w woman like that
I can't get that woman off my back
She comes around demanding a piece of my time
Why does she want to be a friend of mine

I told her I was gonna get married, she got drunk and had a hissy fit
I said hey girl what's the matter with you and then she came out with it
She told me that she'd always been in love with me, my mind just went a blur
'Cause if I was ever gonna gp gay, well it sure wouldn't be with her

Why do I have to know w woman like that
I can't get that woman off my back
She comes around demanding a piece of my time
Why does she want to be a friend of mine

I moved halfway around the world, settled down by the river Clyde
Somehow she tracked em down again and I'm thinking suicide
But I wouldn't fall that easy so I packed my bags again
But I'm looking over my shoulder 'cause she's just around the bend

Why do I have to know w woman like that
I can't get that woman off my back
She comes around demanding a piece of my time
Why does she want to be a friend of mine
