Lyrics
0:53Shifting my weight now from foot to foot
1:01What did she see in this man
1:08I'm not superstitious but if I can get
1:16This ball in the basket then he'll wake up dead
1:24Your sweet reassurances don't change the fact
1:32That he's better looking than me
1:40Yet he'd look ideal 'neath the wheels of a car
1:48Oh Mexican standoff I wish I was hard yeah
2:44Your sweet reassurances don't change the fact
2:52That he's better looking than me
3:00Yet he'd look ideal 'neath the wheels of a car
3:08Oh Mexican standoff I wish I was hard
Shifting my weight now from foot to foot What did she see in this man I'm not superstitious but if I can get This ball in the basket then he'll wake up dead Your sweet reassurances don't change the fact That he's better looking than me Yet he'd look ideal 'neath the wheels of a car Oh Mexican standoff I wish I was hard yeah Your sweet reassurances don't change the fact That he's better looking than me Yet he'd look ideal 'neath the wheels of a car Oh Mexican standoff I wish I was hard
