By the way he went on I had to stay and see
The narrator decides to stay and see if the woman matches the man's description.
If this gal was everything that he said she'd be
Curiosity about whether the woman lives up to the man's praise.
Well every head turned when she walked in the door
Upon her entrance, everyone in the room turns their attention to her.
Hell yeah she was a ten maybe a couple more
