I didn’t know what was happening

I was pulled by the tug of a hook

Then you come around with your offerings

Of the chances that I never took


So now that you’ve reeled me in

Will you throw me back again?

Or will I be your trophy when I’m off the hook?


So you thought you would throw me a line

And I’m wondering what the bait might be

Well, I can be your only valentine

But there’s so many fish in the sea


Pool table sharks wager on my fate

And the odds they lay are one in ten

That you’ll cut me up just to use as bait

Or you’ll take me home to mount in your den


So now that you’ve reeled me in

Will you throw me back again?

Or will I be your trophy when I’m off the hook?

 

Off The Hook
