Best Behavior

[Verse 1]
Hey how you doing there Dad
Heard life’s been moving real fast
She’s your baby girl, who’s all grown up and all dressed up for me
I’ve had eyes on her for a while
Got a little bit of Dolly in her style
She’s got golden hair, diamond rings and room for one from me

[Pre-Chorus]
I know your kitchen clock gonna be ticking
I ain’t gonna be late by a minute

[Chorus]
You can leave the shotgun by the door
Keep the light on by the porch
Tell her mama she can get some sleep
She don’t ever gotta worry about me
In my dusty ‘94
I’ll take it slow ‘cause I know she’s yours
But I don’t know what kind of act she’ll pull out later
But I’ll be on my best behavior

[Post-Chorus]
Be on my best, be on my best
Be on my best behavior
Be on my best, be on my best

[Verse 2]
I can window shop at a Rolex store
And not go break the bank
I can go to a bar and tear up the floor
Without holding a drink
I can drive back home to Florida
Without seeing Miss Sarasota
I can give it my best, with all due respect
That’s all that I can promise

[Chorus]
You can leave the shotgun by the door
Keep the light on by the porch
Tell her mama she can get some sleep
She don’t ever gotta worry about me
In my dusty ‘94
I’ll take it slow ‘cause I know she’s yours
But I don’t know what kind of act she’ll pull out later
But I’ll be on my best behavior

[Post-Chorus]
Be on my best, be on my best
Be on my best behavior
Be on my best, be on my best

[Bridge]
If she gets up to something
Kissing my neck and humming
That ol’ “Don’t Go Near the Water”
Know that it was all your daughter

[Chorus]
You can leave the shotgun by the door
Keep the light on by the porch
Tell her mama she can get some sleep
She don’t ever gotta worry about me
In my dusty ‘94
I’ll take it slow ‘cause I know she’s yours
But I don’t know what kind of act she’ll pull out later
But I’ll be on my best behavior

[Post-Chorus]
Be on my best, be on my best
Be on my best behavior
Be on my best, be on my best, be on my best

[Outro]
If she gets up to something
Kissing my neck and humming
That ol’ “Don’t Go Near the Water”
Know that it was all your daughter
