![]() Pontiac (1987) [ larger cover art ] |
Now to find a man good loving
Ain't an easy thing to do
You've got to know just what you're looking for
And where to find it too
She's hot to go she's ready
She's hot to go right now
She's hot to go
You've got to know
That stop-and-do-it gal
We don't have no lengthy shopping
You don't have to stand in line
You don't have to care who sees your hair
You don't have to waste your time
She's hot to go she's ready
She's hot to go right now
She's hot to go
You've got to know
That stop-and-do-it gal
You can stop by in the morning
You can stop by late at night
You can stop by if you're ugly friend
Or if you look all right
She's hot to go she's ready
She's hot to go right now
She's hot to go
You've got to know
That stop-and-do-it gal
Now I crept up from behind her
She looked so fine to me
But when I stepped around her man
My eyes could plainly see
She was ugly from the front
She was ugly from the front
She was ugly from the front
And I said ugly-ugly-ugly-ugly-ugly
Well I could handle it behind her
And I like it on the side
But don't make me look around her man 'cause she's
Ugly-ugly-ugly-ugly-ugly
She was ugly from the front
She was ugly from the front
She was ugly from the front
And I said this girl was so ugly...
She's hot to go she's ready
She's hot to go right now
She's hot to go
You've got to know
That stop-and-do-it gal
| unclehud (now 50 feet above the planet in Boston) | Posted: May 04, 2013 - 05:12 Obviously no dirty old men commenting below, so I'll represent. This is one of my faves, shows the expertise of Lyle's Large Band, and illustrates Mr. Lovett's sense of humor. How many times I've chastised myself as being shallow and lecherous when the object of my leer turns around. Inevitably, I mutter to myself, "Well, you ugly, too." Mr. Lovett is high on the list of Folks Invited to Uncle Hud's Cocktail Party Celebrating His Eventual Lottery Winnings. |

| bam23 (Berkeley) | Posted: Apr 08, 2011 - 11:22 Musical tastes being what they are, all I can say about Lyle Lovett is that he is a clever writer, but his music has always grated for me. I like plenty of singers whose voices are erratic or even considered unpleasant to others, but I just find this hard to listen to. |

| wade44 (2900 Km East of Paradise, CA) | Posted: Jul 15, 2009 - 09:57 Sounds like she is "coyote ugly". You wake up beside her the morning after, and you'd chew your arm off to get out without waking her. |
| Dave_Mack (Four bus, Snore bus!) | Posted: Jul 15, 2009 - 09:52 I love Lyle, but I'd never heard this song. Thanks for throwing in a rarity! |
| manzanitafire | Posted: Jun 13, 2009 - 14:15 This song makes me love Lyle |
| BKardon (Boulder, CO by way of State and Madison) | Posted: May 12, 2009 - 20:20 Not my favorite off of this album, but hey, I'll take Lyle in any form. Love the tunes "L.A. County" and "Give Back My Heart" from this album. |
| RadioDoc (Chicagoland) | Posted: Mar 10, 2009 - 17:43 Never really like Lyle and I don't know why, but this is pretty much normal Lovett and doesn't send me screaming from the room. 6 |
