Lyric You Better Ask

Written by John Curulewski
Lead vocals by John Curulewski

I met a little girl sittin in the front
pardon me miss for seeming quite so blunt
but your beauty and your presence
just took me by surprise

she said there s a meaning in my sexy stare
but that s my old man that s sittin over there
and that s not the look of love that he s got for you in his eyes

you know what you ve gotta do
there s no one else to blame but you
nobody s gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask

you know what you ve gotta do
there s no one else to blame but you
nobody s gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask

I took her home and we was doing nip and tuck
how was I to know that I was out of luck
and before I knew it, the devil took my soul

in two weeks time it seemed to be the steady con
she told me "you re about to be a papa, John"
and I just looked around and tried to crawl into the nearest hole

you know what you ve gotta do
there s no one else to blame but you
nobody s gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask

you know what you ve gotta do
there s no one else to blame but you
nobody s gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask

[instrumental solos]

well, in two more weeks I started feelin sore
I found myself waiting at my doctor s door
he said, "son I m sorry but I ve got some slightly less than tragic news

"yeah, it seems you ve been sociable with certain she s
cause you ve contracted what we call a social disease
and next time you better ask and use it, no don t refuse"

you know what you ve gotta do
there s no one else to blame but you
nobody s gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask

you know what you ve gotta do
there s no one else to blame but you
nobody s gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask

you know what you ve gotta do
there s no one else to blame but you
nobody s gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
