lyrics

This pretty baby, I’ll never make her mine
She only her own even after we sign on the line
She wear your gold before she wear your name
All the while show ya fire that burn through the rain
Down to the crossroads where east meets west
Where the lost souls pledge themselves to happiness
You wanna make me a man?
I got an heirloom rock for the ring
If it don’t scare you then it don’t scare me

If it don’t scare you, pretty baby...
Then it don’t scare me...

We had a great party and we made a great mess
And we left in the morning with the treasure chest
Got a rose in a vase on the table with a ripe rot sheen
Tell me, darling, you know what that mean?
If it don’t scare you, pretty baby...
Then it don’t scare me

No, it don’t scare me ‘cause I love you
As much as I could
Know what that means
Know what that means?
Yes, I love you
As much as I could know what that means
Know what that means?
I know what that means
