Red Flag

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He got a wrinkled up rock 'n' roll T-shirt on and a beanbag for a couch He can hold his beer but he can't hold a job and he creeps your little sister out When he flexes his muscle and he makes that Hooters girl on his right arm dance Well he wants to be a star play air guitar someday in a heavy metal band [Chorus] That's a red flag, that's a bad sign That's a good bet somethin' ain't right Hold on there, I wouldn't go there If I was you I ain't sayin' I'm a know-it-all But something sure should have tipped you off [Post Chorus 1] When he said, "Hey baby can I bum a couple bucks for gas," Yeah that's a red flag [Verse 2] You say this one's different cause he bought you flowers, a dozen every day for the week He drives by your house every hour on the hour and writes you poetry It's all about destiny, how it's meant to be, how it's written in the stars that shine And he's talkin' love and kids and stuff, and you've only been out one time [Chorus] That's a red flag, that's a bad sign That's a good bet somethin' ain't right Hold on there, I wouldn't go there If I was you I ain't sayin' I'm a know-it-all But something sure should have tipped you off [Post Chorus 2] When he called just to say "I called how come you didn't call me back?" Yeah that's a red flag [bridge] Mama's boys and jocks and flirts, weirdos in speedos and plain old jerks Hair-brained half-baked honky-tonk clowns with half a dozen girls in half a dozen towns [Chorus] That's a red flag, bad sign That's a good bet somethin' ain't right Hold on there, I wouldn't go there If I was you I ain't sayin' I'm a know-it-all But something sure should have tipped you off Now I ain't sayin' I'm a know-it-all But something sure should have tipped you off [Post Chorus 3] When some guys says "My ex-old lady was a nag," Yeah that's a red flag Yeah that's a red flag
