Did Me In

(© 2001 C. Townsend & D. Parker, Wild GinSang Music, BMI)

I said, Heavens no, I don’t need another
I’ve already had one crazy lover.
He had great big hair and a crooked grin
With the cutest little dimple in his chin.
It was that dimple that did me in.

I want a refined man in Italian suits
Not a guy named Junior wearin’ lumberjack boots.
Trucks and guitars wear me thin
Though I did know a drummer way back when…
It was his dimple that did me in.

He said, “Come on babe let’s give it a try,
I’m not your small town average guy.
I don’t have a truck or a crooked grin
But I’ve got a dog who’s man’s best friend.”
It was his dimple that did me in.

I said, “How am I going to tell my mother
That I’ve got another crazy lover”?
He said, “I’m not crazy, I’m a poet
The dog and I, we both know it.”
It was his dimple that did me in.
BREAK
Now he wears fine Italian suits,
They look pretty good with his lumberjack boots.
The dog is still his closest friend
They’ve both driven me ‘round the bend.
It was his dimple that did me in.
