Earl's Girl's Advice

Lyrics: Earl Stillson
Music: David Nelson

The first woman for Earl was a workin' girl
She never hit him up for a dime
He pretended to be a man of the world
She pretended it was her first time

It was all afternoon in a back stairs room
She taught him all he'd ever need to know
When he got up to leave, she took hold of his sleeve
And said there's something I should tell you before you go

Don't you go lookin' too hard for love
Don't you go lookin' too hard
'Cause once you get a little, you never get enough
Don't you go lookin' too hard, no, no
Lookin' too hard

Take it or leave it but you best believe it
Now listen up to what I have to say
Lookin' too hard is only breaking your heart
And love will never find you that way, anyway

Don't you go lookin' too hard for love
Don't you go lookin' too hard
'Cause once you get a little, you never get enough
Don't you go lookin' too hard, no, no
Lookin' too hard

Yeah, once you get a little, you never get enough
Don't you go lookin' too hard, no, no
Lookin' too hard

Now Earl gets in to all the trouble he is able
Not one to hold his head in the sand
He takes his money to the gambling table
With a lady in every hand

He's playin' it cool, lets it all come home to papa
It never seem to go to his head
What used to fool, now he's way up on top of
He claims he owes his music to the lady who said

Don't you go lookin' too hard for love
Lookin' too hard
Once you get a little, you never get enough
Don't you go lookin' too hard, no
Lookin' too hard
Don't you go lookin' too hard

Don't you go lookin' too hard for love now
Lookin' too hard
Don't you go lookin' too hard, no
Lookin' too hard
