lyrics

Upstairs@Lixa's
She turned the light off and bid me close my eyes
I turned around and felt her hand wrap 'round my thighs
My knees went weak and my head started to swoon
She said, "Babe, you gotta keep quiet, 'cause my old lady's in the next room"

Upstairs @ Lixa's, we were having a drink
My mind went blank and I forgot to think
She put the dog out and he barked all night
Upstairs @ Lixa's, I was feeling alright

I played big casanova and scratched my head
She took her clothes off and pushed my on the bed
I said, "I don't know what is wrong with me,
But if you ain't workin' no overtime, at least, then won't you agree?"

Upstairs @ Lixa's, we were having a drink
She blew my mind out, I found it in the kitchen sink
She put the dog out and he barked all night
Upstairs @ Lixa's, I was feeling alright

She said, "It's time to go, the sun is here,
But there's one thing that i want you to know, dear:
I ain't real big on no domestic dispute,
So slip out the back and grab your hat, baby, I'll be calling you."

Upstairs @ Lixa's, we were having a drink
My mind went blank and I forgot to think
She put the dog out and he barked all night
Upstairs @ Lixa's, I was feeling alright
