(Recitation)

I ran into an old friend of mine the other day

We hadnt seen each other for quite a while

What he had to say to me hit me pretty hard

Cause I think a lot of folks get started this way, he said.



(Sing)

I thought it would be so easy

Another one-night stand

She seemed so warm and willing

Right in the palm of my hand

Now its three months ago last Wednesday

Since I woke up in her bed

Lord, I think I love her,

But Im scared half to death.



(Chorus)



Cause you know Im a rake and a rambling man

Free as an eagle flies

Well, look at me now and tell me true

Do I look like a daddy to you?

Oh, do I look like a daddy to you?



Now shes feeling sick in the mornings,

She cant get into her jeans

I spent my last ten dollars,

Bought her a second hand ring

I start to work next Monday,

Cause I just cant let her down

Ive had me some good times,

But its all changing now.



(Repeat chorus twice)
