When i got home from work you called and said that you'd be late
For me not to worry none that you'd be home by eight
The material that you've been a lookin' at will make any man's blood rise
Consider me gone if you handle the merchandise
I've told you once before to keep your big hands off of her
I just seen you reach for her and you're crazy if you think i don't care
The goods you're tryin' to feel of i've seen you reach for twice
Consider me gone if you handle the merchandise
[ guitar - steel ]
That line of goods you're a sellin' is somethin' i won't buy
Guess you think she's a bargain cause she's got them bedroom eyes
You'll get what you've bargained for and i ain't a gonna tell you twice
Consider me gone if you handle the merchandise
I've told you once before to keep your big hands off of her...
