Makin’ a Mess

Lyrics

[Intro] Alright Pick it up, whoo [Verse 1] T-bone Billy just a-singin' the blues He caught his lady with another man Lit up a smoke and did some talkin' with the back of his hand, smack She started shakin', started losing her mind But he was kicking back and playing it cool Signed her walkin' papers, took the 5:15 to Kalamazoo [Pre-Chorus] Sing for your supper Nobody rides for free Well, your heart out, I'll send it C-O-D, yeah [Chorus] One, two, baby, what you do? Three, four, let me show you the door You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me Five, six, take your last licks Seven, eight, I'm gonna give it to you straight You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me [Verse 2] Now Billy-boy's out havin' a ball He's playin' fiddle at the local bar The dark shades, cool kicks, he's Hollywood Boulevard Slick Daddy with his fat cigar He's sayin', "Sign upon the dotted line" He shook his head and said "All I need's that fiddle of mine, that's all" [Pre-Chorus] Sing for your supper Nobody rides for free Take your big time I'll take care of m-m-me, m-m-me, yeah [Chorus] One, two, baby, what you do? Three, four, let me show you the door You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me Five, six, take your last licks Seven, eight, I'm gonna give it to you straight You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me [Bridge] Say, trouble keeps knockin' But Billy keeps rockin' Like this, huh Get on over here and sing like a rockstar, girl [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus] Sing for your supper Nobody rides for free Take your big time I'll take care of m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, yeah [Chorus] One, two, baby, what you do? Three, four, let me show you the door You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me Five, six, take your last licks Seven, eight, I'm gonna give it to you straight You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-me One, two, baby, what you do? Woah You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me Five, six, take your last licks (Play it) You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of, mess of, mess of me [Outro] Make a mess of me, it'll be the best mess you ever made, baby Ha ha
