Lyrics
You know the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you, I know you don't believe me honey, but I swear it's true
You just took my breath away, I stopped right where I stood, That picture's etched in my mind, and it's there for good
You always say maybe, you never say yes, But then you never say no, You want me to keep coming back I guess, And you know I can't let go
Here everybody calls you Cricket, That's just part of the game But you're an Iowa sweetheart, and Haley is your name
Your job is making a fantasy, And I love it so much, But my job is just to watch, and never to touch
I'll call you Cricket out in the room, I'll call you Haley when we're alone, All I can do is rent you, I can never own
There's no one else like you, they don't even come close,, When you work that big brass pole, Then you took me in back, and danced on my lap, And you captured my soul
So it's Cricket whenever I tip you, Though I know Haley's your real name, I know it's all a fantasy, honey, I know it's all a fantasy, Haley,
know it's all a fantasy, But I love you just the same
