[English]

From the very first moment I saw you
I knew our love would be so strong
And the very first moment I kissed you
I knew our joy would last so long
Then I saw you making love to my best friend
I didn't know whatever to say
I saw you making love to my best friend
So I looked him right in his eyes and I said
Listen boy
Won't you take some more, it's what you came for
And don't mind me, I won't throw you no curves
Have yourself a ball with my good woman
Won't you take some more boy, it's more than you deserve
Won't you take some more boy, it's more than you deserve
When I saw you hanging 'round the truck stop
Shining like an angel in the night
And when I saw you crying like a baby
I knew you'd have to be my wife
Then I saw you making love to my best friend
I didn't know whatever to say
I saw you making love to my best friend
So I looked him right in his eyes and I said
Listen boy
Won't you take some more, it's what you came for
And don't mind me, I won't throw you no curves
Go on and have yourself a ball with my good woman
Won't you take some more boy, it's more than you deserve
Won't you take some more boy, it's more than you deserve
Now I think I'm going to have to leave you
Because I'm feeling much too weak to share
And the pie, oh it's cut in too many pieces
The flavor that I crave is no longer there
Then I saw you making love to two of my best friends
I didn't know whatever to say
I saw you making love to a group of my best friends
So I looked them right in their eyes and I said
Listen here, group
Won't you take some more, it's what you came for
And don't mind me I won't throw you no curves
Go on and have yourself a ball with my good woman
Won't you take some more boys, it's more than you deserve
Won't you take some more boys, it's more than you deserve
Won't you take some more boys, it's more than you deserve
