Saturday Redneck - Shania Twain

Shania Twain is a Country star that crossed over to pop, so much so that she has the top selling album by a female artist. Ever. She's the only female musician who ever had three albums certified diamond. Going pop hasn't hurt her on country music radio - she still gets a lot of airtime even though she hasn't recorded much of late.

For some reason, her song If you're not in it for love reminds me of the trouble that the Democratic party keeps having with the Reagan Democrats. Nobody likes to be tken for granted.
Mind if I sit down?
Can I buy you a round?
Haven't seen your face before
Are you new in town?
It's the same old line
Oh every time
Are you here alone?
Can I take you home?
Now every woman sees
With every "pretty please"
There's a pair of lyin' eyes
And a set of keys
He says come be a star
In the back seat of my car
Oh but baby slow down
You're goin' way too far

Let me make it clear
To you my dear

If you're not
In it for love (baby)
If you're not
Willin' to give it all you got
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
Let me make it clear
To you my dear
If you're not in it for love
I'm outta here!

Babe I can change your world
Make you a cover girl
Yeah you could be a beauty queen
In a magazine
Now tell me, what's your sign?
Why always the same old line?
I'll be number 409
If you change your mind

Let me make it clear
To you my dear

If you're not
In it for love (baby)
If you're not
Willin' to give it all you got
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
Let me make it clear
To you my dear
If you're not in it for love
I'm outta here!

(repeat chorus)

If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
I'm outta here!
Bitter and clingy, yessiree.
