Nails Trimmed and Clean Lyrics

Sittin' on the porch while the sun did scorch

Was the finest boy these eyes had seen

Fussin' with his hands, 'What you up to, man?'

He said, 'I'm keepin' my nails trimmed and clean'

What had I been told? Was he speaking in code?

I asked him, 'What the hell do you mean?'

He just shook his head and laughed, 'Just what I said—

I'm keepin' my nails trimmed and clean'

I asked him if he had any plans

For such a fine lookin' pair of hands

I figured any man with a standup plan

Would always keep his nails trimmed and clean

His answer was the song of my heart

And no amount of dirt could ever keep us apart

And that was ages ago - I guess it goes to show

It don't matter if he's seasoned or green

Yes I love my man and how he keeps his nails trimmed and clean
