Been There & Done That

VERSE 1

If it's green you seek
With lotsa money to burn
Would you walk a high wire?

Find a control freak geek
With deep pockets to spurn
Would that light your fire?

CHORUS

But I'm a man who lives hand to mouth
With ups and downs to the north and south
And no woman's gonna clean me out

Don't you know...that I've been there
And done that...

VERSE 2

If a date were too short in sort
But oh so long in song
Would you play his guitar?

If a mate became an ex in court
And Mr. Other was King Kong
Would the alimony go far?

CHORUS

Yet since I'm no prize in the first place
There's no cheeze or trap in my rat race
You wanna sue me for love...then you got no case

Oh honey...I've been there...
And done that...

VERSE 3

If Mr. Right was aflight
In your own back yard
Would you take cash or charge?

If Mr. Wrong were right
Without an armed guard
Would you order small or large?

BRIDGE

Does fool's gold for a soul mate make lovin sound?
Will you measure my broken heart by the scale or pound?
And loose that loving feeling when another pocket's found?

Have YOU been there?
And DONE that?

Instrumental break

CHORUS

Baby, I'm no player in a leading man's role
With nothing to offer but my heart and soul
And so if golddigging is your goal...

Then...I've been there
And done that...
