Somebody Slap Me

John Anderson · Anthology [2002]

I've found a girl who's got her own money

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
