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
