Somebody Slap Me
John Anderson · Anthology [2002]
She's so good lookin' that it ain't funny
She's got a self-a-beauty school diploma
Runnin' up to Miss Oklahoma
She looks uptown but she ain't really
She's into football, she likes my chili
Somebody slap me, somebody slap me
Can't be this happy, somebody slap me
I've found a girl who's sweeter than honey
She pets my dog and she likes my buddies
The kind of girl who ain't afraid of nothing
She's independent, she does her own plumbing
Her Daddy's rich but she don't let it show
She likes to fish, she's got her own boat y'all
Somebody slap me, somebody slap me
Can't be this happy, somebody slap me
She's got long blonde hair and her eyes are blue
She wants a husband but not any time soon y'all
Somebody slap me, somebody slap me
Can't be this happy, somebody slap me
Somebody slap me, somebody slap me
Can't be this happy, somebody slap me
