My long and lean and hungry looks really used to turn her on
Till she found two hundred pounds or true love muscle and bone
I made up my mind to keep what was mine he made up mind I was wrong
To take my Ann took a hell of a man but it sure didn't take him too long
It sure didn't take him long changing her mind
Sure didn't take her long to leave me behind
She had breakfast with me met him at three by suppertime she was gone
To take my Ann took a hell of a man but it sure didn't take him too long
[ steel ]
Now Ann never was a righteous girl but you really couldn't call her bad
I'd have to say as long as she stayed Lord she gave it all that she had
One look at them two looks at him I knew I'd be a living alone
To take my Ann took a hell of a man but it sure didn't take him too long
It sure didn't take him long....
