You Don't Mess Around With Me

(Waylon Jennings)



I blew in from Texas and you don't know who I am

Most of you could careless and the rest don't give a damn

But you might take special notice when you take a look at me

I'm everything you've ever been and ever want to be.



My game is the winner take all

I live on the edges so I'm subject to a fall

I ain't never been a loser I ain't never gonna be

I'm like runnin' in a ringer you don't mess around with me.



I've got money in my pocket I've got money in the bank

If I look like a poor boy I've got much more than you think

I got a woman on my right arm woman on my left

When it comes to women Lord I just can't help myself.



I know it's not the right thing to do

But I could never change even if i wanted to

So if you are a lady and if you always want to be

I'm a living lovin' legend you don't mess around with me.

She's got honey dripping off her lips so good you can taste

A walking aphrodisiac too damn good to waste

Prancin' like a thoroughbred out to win the race

It don't matter how good looking or how good she may be

There's just one foregone conclusion you don't mess around with me...
