ROD STEWART - The Balltrap lyrics

rate me

(Rod Stewart)

Well my brother said he saw you in a downtown bar

With a price on your head and a black man on your arm

C'mon sister, I ain't quite as dumb as I seem

I'd rather see you dead with a rope 'round your neck

Or see you paralyzed in both your thighs

C'mon honey you got me crawling down on my knees

If you say it's all over I'll pack up and go

But this time tomorrow you'll be screamin' on the phone

Come back baby and let's get naked tonight

Well I can't say yes and I can't say no

My heart wants to love you but my soul says go

C'mon sugar why don't you let your man off the hook

You got me in a balltrap

Lord I'm eating outta your hands

You got me in a balltrap, hung up on a one-night stand

You got me in a balltrap, strung out on a midnight tram

First time I had you up on ol' Park Lane

You didn't know my name even when I came

As I recall you let me walk home in the rain

You said I'm cute but tell the truth

It's my body you want with the red eye juice

C'mon honey let's call the whole thing off

You got me in a balltrap

Lord, I'm eating outta your hands

You got me in a balltrap, hung up on a one-night stand

You got me in a balltrap, strung out on a midnight tram

My mama don't like you and I ain't surprised

You got poison lips, you got amphetamine eyes

She keeps on saying why don't you find a nice country girl

But Ma I ain't never been in love before

I can't sleep or eat all week

But Friday night I'll be alright

On the midnight trampoline

It's a balltrap

Lord, I'm eating outta your hands

You got me in a balltrap, hung up on a one-night stand

You got me in a balltrap, strung out on a midnight tram
