Better Think Twice

Julian Austin/Stephen Robichaud

 

Another night sneaking in the back door

Hoping she don’t hear you come in

But this time she’s up and waiting

Murder in her heart and a pistol in her hand

There’s no lie than can save you now

She’s heard the rumors and there all over town

Better tell the truth and confess your sins

You’re a pull of the trigger from the end

 

Cause she knows just what you been up to

She can tell when she looks in your eyes

And if you think that she could never do it

She wouldn’t have the heart you better think twice

 

How long did you think you could fool her

With your see through alibi’s

Lord knows you better say your prayers

There’s a 38 pointed right between you eyes

She starts screaming she’s past crying

You’ve never seen her with a look to kill

I think you know by the way she’s been drinking

She knows you know that she will

 

Cause she knows just what you been up to

She can tell when she looks in your eyes

And if you think that she could never do it

She wouldn’t have the heart you better think twice

 

For a moment you could hear a pin drop

Then she pulls back the hammer of the gun

And you think trying to remember

Did you leave it loaded back in ’61,

You start pleading you start kneeling

Trying to tell her it was just one time

But the smell of perfume proves your lying

Two shots ring in the dead of the night

 

Cause she knows just what you been up to

She can tell when she looks in your eyes

And if you think that she could never do it

She wouldn’t have the heart you better think twice

 

Cause she knew she could never trust you

She knew she couldn’t live with those lies

But you thought she would never do it

She wouldn’t have the heart

You should’ve thought twice

She knew she could never trust you

She knew she couldn’t live with those lies

But you thought she could never do it she wouldn’t have the heart

You should’ve thought twice

Boy you should’ve thought twice
