Lyrics
Charley's Girl
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everybody said you bet you better watch out
Man, she's gonna turn you in
And me, you know, I thought that I looked out
Now look at the trouble that I looked out
You better watch out for Charley's girl
Watch out for Charley's girl ...
It happened on New Year's Eve
They said everybody had to leave
They had a warrant in their hand
They wanted to bust the whole band
I said if I ever see Sharon again
I'm gonna punch her face in
You know, you better watch out for Charley's girl
Hey, now, now watch out for Charley's girl
You know she'll turn you - turn you in
Watch out for Charley's girl
Watch out for Charley's girl
She'll turn you in
You better watch out, you better watch out ...
For Charley's girl, for Charley's girl now
