Saturday night having dinner at Sue’s Diner,
Don’t need the menu, ’cause I know what they serve here.
„Hey, Sue, first mac and cheese then that king size double burger,
with triple french fries and half a gallon of beer.“
Then I heard that voice which I knew would spoil the party,
My babe snapped her fingers and looked sternly at Sue
„Cancel his order, honey, he’s already as wide as he’s tall,
Get him a salad with rice crackers and that Doc Pepper’s diet brew.
Guess you’ll understand that it’s not always funny,
Sometimes it’s hard to keep my cool.
But what the heck, she’s my one and only honey,
And after all: A rule is a rule.
(If that ain’t real love) - My baby’s taking perfect care of me
(If that ain’t real love) - And when she does there’s no asking why
(If that ain’t real love) - She knows exactly how things have got to be
She loves me so much - that I could break down and cry.
======================================================
Sports Illustrated, I’m talking ‘bout that swimsuit issue,
is something that I wouldn’t want to miss.
But when I was staring at it the other night in my armchair
I got brutally interrupted and torn out of my bliss.
‘Cause when my baby saw what I was poring over,
she said, ‘Don’t know what is wrong with you old guys.
She snatched that magazine right out of my hands and said,
„Don’t you know that too much reading will cause damage to your eyes?“
Sometimes I feel that my fuse is close to blowing,
my neck is swelling and my collar almost rips.
But my babe means well, that’s always been my knowing,
so I shut up and instead just bite my lips.
(If that ain’t real love) - My baby’s taking perfect care of me
(If that ain’t real love) - And when she does I better stand down.
(If that ain’t real love) - She knows exactly how things have got to be
She loves me so much - so I try to hide my frown.
======================================================
You know at my age you’re not that fiery, wild lover
that powerhouse I was in former days.
But every now and then, every once in a while,
I feel that burning, that yearning, that craving, that craze.
That’s when I plant myself in front of my baby,
„Who’s your daddy? Let me prove I’m still alive.“
I’ll never forget how she sighed with that pitiful look,
„Honey, think of your heart, chances are you wouldn’t survive.“
I admit, sometimes my blood pressure is rising
I choke back my anger, almost swallow my tongue.
But we all know we must be compromising
Don’t mess with your boss, if you want to get along.
(If that ain’t real love) - My baby’s taking perfect care of me
(If that ain’t real love) - and when she does she’s not accepting any buts
(If that ain’t real love) - She knows exactly how things have got to be
She loves me so much - that I’m about to go nuts
(If that ain’t real love) - My baby’s taking perfect care of me
(If that ain’t real love) - when she speaks up I better toe the line.
(If that ain’t real love) - She knows exactly how things have got to be
She loves me so much - sometimes it makes me wail and whiine.
(If that ain’t real love) - My baby’s taking perfect care of me
(If that ain’t real love) - and when she does I better not’t make any fuss.
(If that ain’t real love) - She knows exactly how things have got to be
She loves me so much - and I’m so glad that she does.
