Lie Alone On The Beach Girl

My girl said she just needed some time to herself
I couldn't help but think, this ain't gonna end well
Now I've damn near done it all this week
In this liquid Eden off West Palm Beach
Chased angel fish on a coral reef
Battled a tuna in this summer heat
But before each day is done
I watch that girl worship the sun

CHORUS
She don't care about the boys that stare 
It's clear she's spoken for
But she lies on the beach like she don't need
Another soul in the world
In a red bikini, skin covered completely
In shimmering suntan oil
I keep thinking about, trying to figure out
That lie alone on the beach girl

The local boys show off out in the surf
And egg each other on to go talk to her 
A few got up their nerve today
She brushed them off in a good-natured way
I wondered if she noticed me 
Like a hawk perched in the balcony
So much for being alone
I just wanted to go back home

CHORUS
She don't care about the boys that stare 
It's clear she's spoken for
But she lies on the beach like she don't need
Another soul in the world
In a red bikini, skin covered completely
In shimmering suntan oil
I keep thinking about, trying to figure out
That lie alone on the beach girl

BRIDGE
I took the bags to the car and she was sitting on the hood
With her hair pulled back in a baseball cap, man, she never looked so good
I know she's mine but sometimes it's just hard to believe it
She kissed my lips said thanks for this trip; it's just what I needed

CHORUS
She don't care about the boys that stare 
It's clear she's spoken for
But she lies on the beach like she don't need
Another soul in the world
In a red bikini, skin covered completely
In shimmering suntan oil
I keep thinking about, trying to figure out
My lie alone on the beach girl
