Lyrics
She walked in wearin high heels
Takin up too much attention
Hips a swayin in that tight skirt
Legs you’d always have to mention
The guys just kept on starin
As she sashayed ‘cross the floor
Jaws dropped as she got closer
Already wantin more
Huh
She smiled and lookin round
Knew she could deal
The whole damn deck
But I decided then there
This time
I’m gonna take a rain check
Yeah
Gonna take a rain check
She knew when she was workin
That the crowd would come her way
Didn’t need to have a reason
Didn’t need too much to say
Ha
Watched her snap those
Long nailed fingers
Saw the boys
Fall into line
Had to give the girl her credit
Played the game good
Every time
Yeah,
Playin good
She smiled and lookin round
Knew she could deal
The whole damn deck
But I decided then and there
This time
I’m gonna take a rain check
Gonna take a rain check
She looked me up and down
She knew I
Wasn’t gonna fall in line
Raised a brow
And then a small smile
Knew she was
Gonna need a lot more time
That girl didn’t know
That she was losin
Playin games
Doesn’t suit my style
She tried every trick
She had in mind
To try take me down
Didn’t know that she was punchin
Soon that smile
Just became a frown
She smiled and lookin round
Knew she could deal
The whole damn deck
But I decided then and there
This time
I’m gonna take a rain check
Yeah
I’m gonna take a rain check
She came and sat beside me
Slidin close and lookin good
Whispered bad things in my ear
And tryin everythin she could
I just turned and smiled
And took her hand
I gave her a brand new deck
I looked into those
Deep blue eyes
And said
Thanks
But
I’m gonna take a rain check
Sorry girl
But I’m gonna take a rain check
Yeah
I’m gonna take a rain check
This time
I’m gonna take a rain check
Always gonna be
Another rain check…….

Many thanks.
To me, your comments are a bit odd.
The song version to these lyrics might help you to understand the story line a little better.
