RUN THAT BY ME ONE MORE TIME
(Dolly Parton)


Dolly Parton & Porter Wagoner - 1969



Run that by me one more time to make sure that I heard you right
I hope you don't expect me to believe that line
I might be crazy, but I ain't dumb and I know a lie when I hear one
Would you run that by me one more time

Well you're late again I see, what's your excuse this time
Don't try to kiss and make up when you smell so strong from wine
Well I'm not late, the clock is wrong, you need to wind Big Ben
Honey, that's not wine you smell, that's aftershave for men
Would you run that by me one more time

Run that by me one more time to make sure that I heard you right
I hope you don't expect me to believe that line
I might be crazy, but I ain't dumb and I know a lie when I hear one
Would you run that by me one more time

(Instrumental Break)

What happened to the money I gave you to pay the rent
The rent is overdue and we ain't got one red cent
Well I put it in the cookie jar that day you brought it home
One day when I come back from town
I looked and I'll be dogged if that money wasn't gone
Ha-ha, would you run that by me one more time

Run that by me one more time to make sure that I heard you right
I hope you don't expect me to believe that line
I might be crazy, but I ain't dumb and I know a lie when I hear one
Would you run that by me one more time

You keep drinkin' that aftershave it's gonna kill you if I'm lucky
You spent that money didn't you
I didn't spend it
I oughta box your jaws
Aw, you'd hit your mama before you'd hit me
Would you run that by me one more time, run that by me one more time
I don't want to run that by you one more time
Shut your mouth
I don't have to, you ain't my pa
