Don’t Go Near the Water

I was a-playin' rock and roll in a local theater
Well, I knew it had to happen to me sooner or later
There was a foxy little lady dancing down in the front row
I said, "Honey, can you meet me when I finish the next show?"
There was somethin' about the lady that really got to me
She was down on my zipper, tears a-ripplin' through me
She said, "Boy, let me tell you if you're gonna give me good love
Start makin' good love, it's what you really got plenty of"

She told me now, "Don't go near the water, yeah
If you can't swim the tide"
She told me now, "Don't go near the water, yeah
If you can't swim the tide"

Well, let me tell you, couldn't wait 'til the last song was over
I had sixty-nine ways I was really gonna show her
So I took her to the dressing room and really got to it
Everything I thought I'd show her, well, she already knew it
But I looked at my watch, it was time for me to go
I said, "Honey, got to stop or I'll be late for the next show"
She said, "There ain't no way I got to stop this good thing
If you're gonna be a man, you got to finish what you started"

She told me now, "Don't go near the water
If you can't swim the tide"
She told me now, "Don't go near the water, yeah
If you can't swim the tide"
You got to stop it, baby
She told me now, "Don't go near the water, yeah
If you can't swim the tide"
She told me now, "Don't go near the water
If you can't swim the tide"
She told me now, "Don't go near the water, yeah"
"Don't go near the water" (Don't go near the water)
"Don't go near the water" (Don't go near the water)
"Don't go near the water" (Oh, keep on givin' that good thing)
"Don't go near the water" (Hey yeah)
"Don't go near the water" (Oh)
"Don't go near the water"
