She's over there, over there he saw her
Look away, look again, yeah, he saw her
He's sayin' "Whoops! There's another one down to the middle of the night."
It's not a son that she wants to be thought of
It's not this girl, but a boy he'll be proud of
He's sayin' "Whoops! There's another one down to the middle of the night."

He said, "Now listen, girl, I'm your father,
and you will live in this house as a daughter."
He's sayin' "Whoops! There's another one down to the middle of the night."
He says, "I'll never see this as a falter."
And that he's not gonna stand and applaud her
He's sayin' "Whoops! There's another one down to the middle of the night."

(Guitar rests until the end of the song. You can palm-mute if you feel like
it, but if you do so, there aren't the breakouts into clean power chords as
in the verses above.)
A pair of heels, now she's standing taller
A tiny dress and she's got what they wanted
Sayin' "Whoops! There's another one down to the middle of the night."
No turning back, now it's ten on the dollar
He doesn't care that they sold and they bought her
He's sayin' "Whoops! There's another one down to the middle of the night."
