Yes, I'll buy you a drink
If you'd like me to
I might even dance
A slow one with you
Lord, knows you're a looker
And, honey, what's more
It's not hard to see
What you're looking for
'Cause you're as tempting a woman
As I've ever seen
But there's someone in Dallas
Who's trusting in me
She's the mother of my children
I'm the rock she leans on
So thank you but no thank you
I'll be leaving alone
As we dance in the shadows
And you're holding me tight
I can feel the invitation
I've seen in your eyes
And the soft light and the music
And the wine's rosy glow
Ain't making it easy
For me to say no
If you'd like me to
I might even dance
A slow one with you
Lord, knows you're a looker
And, honey, what's more
It's not hard to see
What you're looking for
'Cause you're as tempting a woman
As I've ever seen
But there's someone in Dallas
Who's trusting in me
She's the mother of my children
I'm the rock she leans on
So thank you but no thank you
I'll be leaving alone
As we dance in the shadows
And you're holding me tight
I can feel the invitation
I've seen in your eyes
And the soft light and the music
And the wine's rosy glow
Ain't making it easy
For me to say no
