I'm Way Ahead of You

Bill Anderson · Billy Boy and Mary Lou (w. Mary Lou Turner) [MCA] [1977]

(Curly Putman - Sonny Throckmorton)



Hey baby, what's a nice girl like you (doing here)

Yeah, that's what I mean

And say haven't I seen you (somewhere before)

Yeah, that's what I mean.



It was my first time to cheat

I think she knew

And her smile just said

(I'm way ahead of you.)



I was wondering could I (buy me a drink)

Yeah, that's what I mean

They're playin' a slow song would you (like to dance)

That's what I mean.



She seemed to know

My each and every move

And her smile just said

(I'm way ahead of you.)



Well, it's closing time could I (take me home)

Yeah, that's what I mean

And I was wondering could I (come in awhile)

Yeah, that's what I mean.



She unlocked the door

And gently led me through

And her smile just said

(I'm way ahead of you.)



And her smile just said

(I'm way ahead of you.)...
