Chorus 
I wish I had a dollar 
For every girl I met 
Who liked to make things tough 
Playing hard to get 
I’d be rich, richer than a king 
Or at least a duke 
With a big ruby ring 
 
I’ve had luck, I guess you could say 
Mostly bad, shot down along the way 
I ain’t discouraged or anything like that 
Nor more than any man, I’d say 
It’s just the way things are set up 
So, just take it like a man my friend 
 
What are the odds of meeting the right girl 
It’s not like choosing a goldfish, you know 
There has to be a spark that cuts both ways 
Like two hands finding each other in a picture show 
We’ve all been there, nervous in the dark 
Reaching for the lady, fingers locked and warm 
 
Chorus 
I wish I had a dollar 
For every girl I met 
Who liked to make things tough 
Playing hard to get 
I’d be rich, richer than a king 
Or at least a duke 
With a big ruby ring 
 
It’s a tricky little problem to have for us 
And they don’t make it so easy 
When it comes to our honor and trust 
It’s just one of the flaming hoops they hold 
There’s the rub, they put out our fire with fire 
It’s so easy for us to be controlled 
  
...wish I had a dollar 
For every girl I met 
Who liked to make things tough 
uh huh mmm

Dollar

Hi. I'm Ed. First off, thanks for listening. 

You might notice a link below to a blog site John Eagle and I started to add a new dimension to the stories we tell. 

Once I played in a band that had two Elvises (Elvi) and adopted the pseudonym edro as a cover.  

Mostly it is me playing guitar, keyboards, mandolin, and whatever else makes sense for a song. Most of the songs are original with a few live. The originals are written and performed by edro. I have been fortunate lately to be involved with some collaborations with some real fine folks.

The intro was written when I first joined SoundCloud. While I collaborate with many fine folks, John Eagle and I have written hundreds of songs together. We are working pretty hard writing good songs these days.
