Lyrics
No matter how hard you go down, I'm goin' down with you
No matter how hard you get caught, I got to get with you
Now, I'm up here
Feelin' like a mule in a one-horse town
Honey, I ain't askin' you to trust me
I just wish you'd come here and dust me down
I've got three women breathin' down my neck
Well, one take my text, and the other take my check
But the third is (but the third is) makin' me a nervous wreck (nervous wreck)
She got the nerve to demand some respect (respect)
You could come straight out and bust me
But I was hopin' you'd come and dust me down
Well, that, they can't hide what the day we deal
I'm workin' hard to not look like I feel
Last night is hangin' off me
The way deep perfume sticks around
You said, "It's gettin' late, and it must be time
For you to come and dust me down"
Now, my get-up ain't forehead, better do just that
You're like a bird in a cage, I'm like a rat in a trap
I'm not used to flyin' this low to the ground
I'm tired and I'm rusty
So, come on over here and dust me down
Dust me down
Well, I'm the son of a mother, and her mother had a son
She was the child of another son of a gun
You can't keep news like this
From spreadin' all through the town
You said it, "But it went right past me, now I'm hopin' that
You'll ask me to dust you down, dust you down"
