Soap Opera Queen


[Chorus]
I wanna fall in love with a soap opera queen

With silk and satin sheets that I can slip in between
she's gotta be beautiful and rotten and mean
Or she can't be a soap opera queen


When I was just a young man mama said play the field
And I've made it all these years without a hitch

Then I met a pretty lady who was from Bakersfield
And it scared me right out of my wits


She had a look about her first I thought she was young
Till I saw the timeless years in her eyes
I couldn't help but wonder what was in the songs she had sung

And did her repretoire include a pack of lies
[Chorus]
And I wanna fall in love with a soap opera queen

With silk and satin sheet that I can slip in between
she's gotta be beautiful and rotten and mean
Or she can't be a soap opera queen

[8 Bar Ride]
No the only kind of woman that can keep me satisfied
Is one that cheats on me and can't be true

Cause that's the only way I know God knows how I've really tried
And I guess I just ain't happy unless I'm blue


Yea love was probly meant for someone but it sure as hell ain't me
And of all the sweet young ladies I have found
I don't beleive there is one of them that it hurt to set me free

Cause I still make 'em smile when I come around
[Chorus]
Yes I wanna fall in love with a soap opera queen

With silk and satin sheets that I can slip in between
she's gotta be beautiful and rotten and mean
Or she can't be a soap opera queen

No she can't be a soap opera queen
