Lyrics
Catch and release
everybody knew but never told me everyone knew but me
It's O.K. to go to bed hungry it's O.K. to be real lonely
Here she comes again acting like a friend with a fishing pole
dangling over my head and all she's got is a little shinny gold hook
where's the bait? that's all she needs no little ball of wonder bread
no little ball of cheese she knows I'm starving she sees I'm drifting
she's got a supple wrist flash that hook and I'll come swimming
thank the lord she believes in catch and release
thank the lord this time I'm born to thin I got no meat throw me back
I'm not good eats!
everybody knew but never told me everyone knew but me
