SOLO 

She plays castanets, she works without a net 
I like her better when she walks away 
She turns me on like a pick up truck 
I like her better when she walks away 

I love the sun shinin’ through her dress 
I like her better when she walks away 
I like her hair in a tangled mess 
I like her better when she walks away
