Lyrics
She only ate sushi in a restaurant
She slept on a water bed
She said I was her one and only
But there were other fish up in her head
We met on the pier, I was drinking a beer
She said my tacklebox turned her on
I brought her and my pole to my fishing hole
She got naked and jumped in my pond
Well, I knew she was trouble, but I couldn’t cut bait
When I thought about running, it was way too late
She gave me that look and I bit on the hook
And she was reeling me in on her line
I took her up north to the state of Ben and Jerry
She loved that jam-band sound
She danced like a spinner in clear blue water
I knew she was shakin’ me down
So we spent all my money on caviar,
On pearls and other fine things
I was knee deep in debt when she pulled up the net
She said “It’s time you bought me a ring”
Well, I knew she was trouble, but I couldn’t cut bait
When I thought about running, it was way too late
She gave me that look and I bit on the hook
And she was reeling me in on her line
We came home from a trip on a big cruise ship
She said “Babe, I got one in the oven”
It was a master ploy, we had a big baby boy
Now I’m bound to give her all of my lovin’
Yah, I knew she was trouble, but I couldn’t cut bait
When I thought about running, it was way too late
She gave me that look and I bit on the hook
And she was reeling me in on her line
She was a-reeling me in on her line
