lyrics

GOOD TIMIN' GIRL (Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music/BMI)

She looks in the mirror at beauty that's startin' to fade
And she wonders at all of the time that she let get away
All the love she turned down when she had all the time in the world
But time, it ain't no kind of friend to a good timin' girl

She knows how to get what she wants, but lately she finds
That what her heart desires, she can't get with a wink and a smile
And when the party's all over, she knows she's alone in the world
There ain't nothin' as sad as the tears of a good timin' girl

I met her in Winter, and my heart was cold as a stone
And she gave me her fire and I kept her from sleepin' alone
I thought I could change her and take her away from that world
And I told her I loved her, and I lost my good timin' girl

Some night you might see her, sitting right there at the bar
And you'll think she's so fine and you'll want her to be where you are
So you buy her a drink and you dance and you give her a twirl
But, son, don't you give up your heart to a good timin' girl
No, don't ever give up your heart to a good timin' girl

She looks in the mirror at beauty that's startin' to fade
