I was courting a southern belle Her Daddy was a rich un, too Sports car outside her door She was pretty good lookin, too
You call me up, want me to come over When the servants are all in bed And she said,"Daddys on a flight tonight Does that put any ideas in your head?"
Can you really take it all the way down Can you really take it all the way down
I drink up the family wine She said,"Youre such a snake in the grass, boy
But wait a minute, wait a minute baby Are you tryin to make a fool out of me She said,"Ive seen men like you, before Ive got a long family tree"
Can you really take it all the way down Can you really take it all the way down
And I say to myself, "Even a fool like me can be the loving kind" Even a fool like me can be the loving kind
Can you really take it all the way down Can you really take it all the way down More from John Mellencamp
