"Turf Accountant Daddy" lyrics - THE PRETENDERS

THE PRETENDERS
"Turf Accountant Daddy"

After you finish off
Your fear of death returns
And then you drop the ball
Because love, it burns

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
See you duck and dive
So you don't get hit
That's how you stay alive
But just a little bit

[Chorus:]
Well she don't know
Back in Reno Nevada
He keeps his profile low
Turf Accountant Daddy

[Post-Chorus:]
Hey baby, you wanna dance?
Come here

The things you criticised
That's what you've become
AWOL, living on a beach
Just a bum

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
And those little white lies
Me and her as well
Them roving eyes
They kiss and tell

[Chorus:]
Well she don't know
Back in Reno Nevada
He keeps his profile low
Turf Accountant Daddy

[Bridge:]
Now you're undercover
That must be tough
Hiding this week's lover
Nothing's never enough

[Chorus:]
Well she don't know
Back in Reno Nevada
He keeps his profile low
Turf Accountant Daddy

[Outro:]
And she'll never know
In Cincinnati
He's never gonna show
The Turf Accountant Daddy
