----------------------------------------
There's a doctor livin' in your
town
There's a lawyer and an Indian,
too
And neither doctor, lawyer nor
Injun chief
Could love you any more than I
do
There's a barrel of fish in the
ocean
There's a lot of little birds in
the blue
And 'Neither fish nor fowl"
says the wise old owl
Could love you any more than I
do
No! No! No! it couldn't be true
That anyone else could love you
like I do
I'm gonna warn all the
*dead-eyed dicks*
That you're the chick with the
slickest tricks
And every tick of my ticker
ticks for you, follow through
Tell the doc to stick to his
practice
Tell the lawyer to settle his
case
Send the Injun chief and his
tommy-hawk
Back to little Rain-In-the-Face
'cause you
Know! Know! Know! it couldn't be
true
That anyone else could love you
like I do
(No! No! No! it couldn't be
true)
(That anyone else could love you
like I do)
And, confidentially, I confess
I sent a note to the local press
That I'll be changin' my home
address for you, follow through
Tell the doc to stick to his
practice
Tell the lawyer to settle his
case
Send the Injun chief and his
tommy-hawk
Back to little Rain-In-the-Face
'cause you
Know! Know! Know! it couldn't be
true
That anyone else could love you
like I do
No! No! No! it couldn't be true
That anyone else could love you
like I do
I'm gonna send a hot *communeek*
To warn the boys down at Cripple
Creek
That every dimple on your
dimpled cheek is mine, so to speak
Tell the (doc!) to stick to his
practice
Tell the (lawyer!) to settle his
case
Send the (Injun chief!) and his
tommy-hawk
Back to little Rain-In-the-Face
(woo-woo-woo, woo-woo-woo)
'cause you
Know! Know! Know! it couldn't be
true
That anyone else could love you
like I do
(Like I do)
(Like I do)
(Like I do)
LIKE I DO!!!
