[Chorus]

Have I told you, have I told you

Have I told you, have I told you

You could really get it on?

You could really get it on?

Have I told you, have I told you

Have I told you, have I told you

You could really get it on?

You could really get it on?


[Verse 1]

I was at an all night diner

The sign said, "Triple X" but they were talking about root beer

I'm just sitting down, thinking about nothing

Looking at the thin air, breathing up the oxygen


[Pre-Chorus]

Have I told you, have I told you

You could really get it on?

You could really get it on?


[Verse 2]

A guy comes up that's looking pretty 8-ball

Snaggletoothed smile, sits down at my table

Puts his arm around me, starts to share his information

He said, he said, he said

He said, he said, he said

He said, he said, he said, he said

He said, he said, he said, this is what he said

"I have sex, I'm always thinking about the pavement

So I can avoid premature ejaculation"

I got up, remembering to thank him

Better things to do, so I'll start drinking now


[Chorus]

Have I told you, have I told you

Have I told you, have I told you

You could really get it on?

You could really get it on?

Have I told you, have I told you

Have I told you, have I told you

You could really get it on?

You could really get it on?


[Verse 3]

I'm in Tahoka, now I'm going to hook up

With the parties, unfortunately, like always

No one has any ideas, damn


[Chorus]

Have I told you, have I told you

Have I told you, have I told you

You could really get it on?

You could really get it on?

Have I told you, have I told you

Have I told you, have I told you

You could really get it on?

You could really get it on?

Have I told you, have I told you

Have I told you, have I told you

You could really get it on?

You could really get it on?

Have I told you, have I told you

Have I told you, have I told you

You could really get it on?

You could really get it on?
