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
