I've got a story to tell, would you mind listening
I can always count on you we're such good friends
And I need to talk about my situation
And you're the only one who'll understand

Now someone's got designs on my baby
He's making her intentions very plain
We both know this ole guy that I'm talking about
But I don't want to mention any names

He's asked her to slow dance way too often
He's made suggestions I don't like at all
And I'm trying to let him know that
I'm wise to his game, but I don't wanna mention any names

Well, I can understand why you'd want her
Oh, you've even said yourself she's quite a prize
He's about a good of friend as you are
Come to think about it he's just about your size

And if he don't back off there's gonna be some trouble
Now I'm prepared to make that very plain
And I hope I've said enough, and just between the two of us
'Cause I don't want to mention any names

He's asked her to slow dance way too often
He's made suggestions I don't like at all
And I'm trying to let him know that
I'm wise to his game, but I don't wanna mention any names

I'm trying to let him know that
I'm wise to his game, but I don't wanna mention any names
