Lyrics for Fair Game
Tell me, yes, tell me, where did you first know her? She's all you could ask for and more She doesn't walk so much as she glides on by you I'm hoping she's fair game for sure To be in her arms you'd be one in a million I'm hoping she counts up that far In dreams she's a wonder, in life she's an angel St. Peter, please open your door What would you think if you saw me right with her? You'd probably laugh then, I'm sure No one in their right mind would think I could give her A home or a love to endure If she's only fair game, I'll pray she'll take my name Strange things have happened before But fair game or no game, perhaps it's just the same If I walked her straight to her door Many's the time that I wanted to tell her To take me, I'm already yours As time slips on by, I'm still counting the hours This fever must wait for a cure Yeah, I need no showman with no magic potion I'm headed for no doctor's door Good feeling is one thing and I'm feeling no pain Fair game is love when you're poor Fair game is love when you're poor
