Lyrics
I learned how to make love from the movies
Catch me waitressin up Ruby Tuesday’s
Says he wants to buy me and a white milkshake
I’ll serve you up a special side of heartbreak
Betty Lou’s working down at the Friendly’s
Met a millionaire while she was serving him pancakes
She served your baby a coke and went outside for a smoke
Before you kiss the alligator don’t ask to see him later
I learned how to make love from the movies
Catch me waitressin up Ruby Tuesday’s
Says he wants to buy me and a white milkshake
I’ll serve you up a special side of heartbreak
She said Lana Rey you gotta do what I say
My man’s sending his buddy Ray over your way
He knows you’re bad to the bone and that you never come home
But he saw you in a picture and he really wants to meet ya
So if you see him, just do what I say
I said okay
I learned how to make love from the movies
Catch me waitressin up Ruby Tuesday’s
Says he wants to buy me and a white milkshake
I’ll serve you up a special side of heartbreak
He’s my rodeo king and I’m his Alabama
Diamond horseshoe ring and I know how my man likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it
