If I Told You Who It Was |
| I wanted to see the brand old Loper show |
| So I held a cap and I headed down to Opryland |
| They said they sold their last ticket the day before |
| So I kinda just hung around the backstage door |
| And down the steps she came, man oh man |
| My favourite female country star |
| She waved her fans and headed for her car |
| Her tire, unlike her body, was very flat |
| She said, could you change my tire |
| I said your wish is my desire |
| As she raised the lid, I grabbed her bumper jack |
| She said I sure do appreciate you changing my tire |
| If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was |
| You’d say I was making it up |
| You’ve seen her on the screen and in country magazines |
| You’d think I was making it up |
| She said it was our little secret and by golly |
| I’m gonna keep it |
| Anyway you wouldn’t believe it |
| If I told you who it was |
| She said you need a lift and I said well |
| You can drop me of at the York motel |
| So we headed down Briley parkway in the town |
| I told her I got all your records ma’am |
| She smiled and said well I be damned |
| She said, you’re kind of cute fella, wanna mess around |
| When we got to my room just the people lied |
| I said sure wish I could’ve heard you sing tonight |
| She smiled at me and said what do you wanna hear? |
| Well if I was one of them country music folks |
| I’ll tell you, she’d sure get my vote for the best performance of the year |
| If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was |
| You’d say I was making it up |
| You’ve seen her on the screen and in country magazines |
| You’d think I was making it up |
| She said it was our little secret and by golly |
| I’m gonna keep it |
| Anyway you wouldn’t believe it |
| If I told you who it was |
| Well I tell you this much |
| When I put my arms around her and squeezed her real tight |
| She looked up at me with those big beautiful eyes |
| Took a deep breath and a sigh and said: |
| «Howdy I’m just so proud to be here!» |
| If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was |
| You’d say I was making it up |
| You’ve seen her on the screen and in country magazines |
| You’d think I was making it up |
| She said it was our little secret and by golly |
| I’m gonna keep it |
| Anyway you wouldn’t believe it |
| If I told you who it was |
