"Wilma Lou" lyrics

Wilma Lou

I watch you most every night
See you in the front porch lights
You and him sitting in a swing
Radio playing through the screen

Wilma Lou, Wilma Lou
Don't let that boy put his hands on you
I can see he ain't your kind
He loves your body and not your mind

Every night I watch you hard
A hiding here in the wrecking yard
Sitting in a rusty truck
Letting mosquitoes eat me up

Wilma Lou, Wilma Lou
Don't let that boy put his hands on you
I can see he ain't your kind
He loves your body and not your mind

Oh, Wilma Lou, you're too far away
So I sneak up behind his Chevrolet
I hunker down here in the weeds
A little closer so I can see

I hear the June bugs in the night
See you in the front porch light
I'm going home, I've had enough
God sake Wilma Lou get up

Wilma Lou, Wilma Lou
Don't let that boy put his hands on you
I can see he ain't your kind
He loves your body and not your mind

Wilma Lou, Wilma Lou
Don't let that boy put his hands on you
I can see he ain't your kind
He loves your body and not your mind
