Lyrics
Bar Fly
(Intro)
I. I think I'll slide a little closer, Sugar, 'cause I really wanna kiss you.
I can see that smile on yo' face, and I saw you wink in my direction.
(Chorus)
Immo be th' bar fly to yo' flame.
Gonna buy me drinks. How we play this game.
Bet yo' wife never orders doubles.
Oh, Sugar Daddy, I'm th' start of yo' troubles.
I'm your bar fly. You can't take me home.
Leave a big tip at th' Hotel Alone.
For yo' bar fly. (Turnaround)
II. How did you get away from Mama, Sugar? And you know she gonna grill you.
Where you gonna say you have been? Better get it straight, your recollection.
(Chorus) (Turnaround)
III. You say she always fixes supper, Sugar. She puts a plate back for you.
She can cook yo' food, I'll burn yo' bread! That's th' price you pay for my affection!
(Chorus) (Turnaround)
(Tag)
I'm yo' bar fly.
I'm yo' bar fly.
