lyrics

Well, hello, Mrs. So and so
And how are you today
I'd like to check your oil
But I'm sorry to say
I ain't got time to check you battery
Or look out for your leaks
And I can't getyou a tune up
Any time this week

I got a high maintenance woman
I got a high maintenance woman
I got a high maintenance woman
And she keeps me working overtime

Now my baby's got a chassis
That's a pleasure to slip under
An engine tuned to purr
But she can roar like thunder
I keep an ear out for trouble
Every squeak and every grind
'Cause I wanna make htose curves
In record time

I got a high maintenance woman
I got a high maintenance woman
I got a high maintenance woman
And she keeps me working overtime

I keep extra oil handy
And a full box of tools
I know she's looking hot
But I keep her running cool
Always checking her fluids
Give her plenty of fuel
'Cause if I don't tend to it
Ain't no telling who will

So now if I see Mr. So and so
In his beat up Chevrolet
I'll tell him you were here
But I sent you on your way
You were looking for a tune up
But I couldn't help you out
And I think the both of you
Ought to know by now

I got a high maintenance woman
I got a high maintenance woman
I got a high maintenance woman
And she keeps me working overtime
Well, I got a high maintenance woman
I got a high maintenance woman
I got a high maintenance woman
And she keeps me working overtime
