Fair Game
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.
Tell me yes tell me where did you first know her
She's all you could ask for and more
She doesn't walk so much as she glides on by ya'
I'm hoping she's fair game for sure
To be in her arms you'd be one in a million
I'm hoping she counts up that far
In dreams she's a wonder, in life she's an angel
St. Peter, please open your door
What would you think if you saw me right with her
You'd probably laugh then I'm sure
No one in their right mind would think I could give her
A home or a love to endure
If she's only fair game I'll pray she'll take my name
Strange things have happened before
But fair game or no game perhaps it's just the same
If I walked her straight to her door
Many's the time that I wanted to tell her
To take me, I'm already yours
As time slips on by I'm still counting the hours
This fever must wait for a cure
Yet I need no showman with no magic potion
I'm headed for no doctor's door
Good feelin' is one thing and I'm feelin' no pain
Fair game is love when you're poor
Fair game is love when you're poor
