This is not the story of a girl who, for her senior photo
Chose to pose with a tiger who mauled her
Thatʼs a little low though
You ought to know- when you own a Siberian tiger
And they want to pet it
That itʼs only an innocent query, and
You donʼt have to let it happen every time, you know
Or happen at all
You could always just say no
You could take the fall
But again, itʼs an inappropriate thing for me to criticize him
I understand
Thereʼs a guy who hears about a deal and he just buys in
Never question, never wonder, never think hard
And I donʼt despise him
I just hope he keeps the hell away from my kid
And the bed he lies in
Cause it wonʼt happen every time, you know
Or happen at all
You could always just say no
You could make the call
The lion will lie down with the lamb
Or at least thatʼs what I read
They made it work in a Las Vegas showroom,
But the lamb was dead
Topless girls with peacock feathers turned about like fans
I wanted badly to believe for the sake of the dance
But it doesnʼt happen every time, you know
Or happen at all
You could always just say no
You could make the call
