She's seen a lot since 40,
says she's passed the prime,
but our boy ain't worried,
he thinks she's pretty good looking,
and he's no spring chicken himself.
calm as you please, said,
I sure hope you save that next dance for me.
And she laughs and looks him over,
she shrugs and says, I might as well.
and leads her out to the floor.
She said to tell the truth,
and give me headaches in the morning
a calm heart and a strong head
I save the rest for the fairies,
they just love me like a real man
A few hours later, in a hotel room,
When they find each other,
cause it's been a long time,
but she ain't hard to please
And he's doing just fine,
and when they're finished

And as she's leaving, he asks,
And she just smiles and says,
and give me headaches in the morning
a calm heart and a strong hand
I save the rest for the fairytales,

Well, it's been fifteen years now
since he danced with her that night
And they've never gotten married
And they've never had a fight
And he doesn't say, love you
Cause it ain't how he was raised
Oh, but she don't need to hear it
Cause she means it when she says,
Of wine and roses, they prick my fingers
And give me headaches in the morning
my calm heart and strong hand
I'll the rest for the fair and tasty
And just love me like a real man
