You Better Ask Lyrics - Styx Ii - Styx

I met a little girl sittin' in the front 

Pardon me miss for seeming quite so blunt 

But your beauty and your presence 

Just took me by surprise 

She said there's a meaning in my sexy stare 

But that's my old man that's sittin' over there 

And that's not the look of love that he's got for you in his eyes 

You know what you've gotta do 

There's no one else to blame but you 

Nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask 

You know what you've gotta do 

There's no one else to blame but you 

Nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask 

I took her home and we was doing nip and tuck 

How was I to know that I was out of luck 

And before I knew it, the devil took my soul 

In two weeks time it seemed to be the steady con 

She told me you're about to be a papa, john 

And I just looked around and tried to crawl into the nearest hole 

You know what you've gotta do 

There's no one else to blame but you 

Nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask 

You know what you've gotta do 

There's no one else to blame but you 

Nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask 

[instrumental solos] 

Well, in two more weeks I started feelin' sore 

I found myself waiting at my doctor's door 

He said, son I'm sorry but I've got some slightly less than tragic news 

yeah, it seems you've been sociable with certain she's 

Cause you've contracted what we call a social disease 

And next time you better ask and use it, no don't refuse 

You know what you've gotta do 

There's no one else to blame but you 

Nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask 

You know what you've gotta do 

There's no one else to blame but you 

Nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask 

You know what you've gotta do 

There's no one else to blame but you 

Nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
