lyrics

The Big Red Ball
by Phill Raymond

v.1
It's been ten long years baby,
since you walked out my door.
It's been ten long years darling,
since you walked out my door.
It took you ten seconds honey,
to make up your mind to come back for more.

v.2
They say greed makes a man hungry,
and wine makes a woman weep.
They say greed makes a man hungry,
red wine makes a woman weep.
I spent many a sleepless night baby,
wondering how I'm gonna make ends meet.

Ch.x1
Then along came a big red ball,
and it bounced right off my roof.
Yeah along came a big red ball,
and it bounced right off my roof.
I pulled that ticket right out of my pocket,
six numbers telling me I don't need anymore proof.
I cracked the big one baby!

v.3
Now all my moneys gone baby,
you helped me clean out my bank once again.
Yeah all my moneys gone baby,
we threw out the window again.
Well you packed up your bags again honey,
and you walked out of my life again.

v.4
It took you ten seconds honey,
to pack your bags and leave me once more,
It took you ten seconds honey,
to pack up your bags and leave me once more,
Well guess what?
That big red ball came back again momma,
and you ain't never coming in my front door.
Once bitten, twicwe shy.
