Lyrics
Verse
She weaved through the party like a randy rattler
Looking like a deb from the pages of Tattler
Before she said jump I was already asking
She whispered 'hey ho' and I was left gasping
Chorus
She had me at he-ey ho
She had me at he-llo
She had me for the evening, she had me for the night
She had me singing mercy 'til the morning glory light
And I thought our love would last
But she had me for breakfast
Verse
Her tastes were expensive and her appetites broad
The champagne was flowing while my cash flow poured
I took her to Paris to see the Mona Lisa
She shopped for Versace and hammered my Visa
Chorus
She had me at he-ey ho
She had me at he-llo
She had me for the evening, she had me for the night
She had me singing mercy 'til the morning glory light
And I thought our love would last
But she had me for breakfast
Bridge
I liked to please her every whim
But my funds were getting thin
I thought true love had no limit
But credit cards do
Yes credit cards do
Verse
I tried to call but my phone was disconnnected
I tried to send flowers but my card was rejected
Letters arrived, printed out in red
From the lawyers and the banks and they all said
Chorus
She had me at he-ey ho
She had me at he-llo
She had me for the evening, she had me for the night
She had me singing mercy 'til the morning glory light
And I thought love would last
But she had me for breakfast
