Storm blew a tree down in my backyard
Angin kencang menjatuhkan pohon di halaman belakangku
My axe wouldn’t cut it and my saw wouldn’t start
Kapakku tidak bisa memotongnya dan gergajiku tidak mau menyala
Good excuse for a trip to the hardware store
Alasan bagus untuk mampir ke toko alat
To give that little hottie workin’ a thrill de’ jour
Biar si cantik yang kerja di sana dapat sedikit kesenangan

I know that she digs me ‘cause when I walked in
Aku tahu dia suka padaku karena saat aku masuk
Here she come a runnin’ with a can I help you grin
Dia datang berlari dengan senyum "ada yang bisa saya bantu?"
Like a puppy on a leash she followed me around
Seperti anak anjing yang terikat, dia mengikutiku kemana-mana
I left her droolin’ at the mouth when I walked out
Aku bikin dia ngiler saat aku keluar

Chorus:
But I guess you had to be there
Tapi sepertinya kamu harus ada di sana
To believe what I saw
Untuk percaya apa yang aku lihat
Her blue eyes glued to my Liberty coveralls
Mata birunya terpaku pada overall Liberty-ku
She didn’t have a prayer
Dia tidak punya harapan
But I guess you had to be there
Tapi sepertinya kamu harus ada di sana

I’m pretty sure she meant to drop that can of W.D.
Aku cukup yakin dia sengaja menjatuhkan kaleng W.D. itu
So I could see her bend over in her tight blue jeans
Supaya aku bisa lihat dia membungkuk dengan jeans biru ketatnya
I was eye to eye with Taz and a Tweety tattoo
Aku berhadapan langsung dengan tattoo Taz dan Tweety
Forced to play a little game of peek-a-boo
Terpaksa main sedikit permainan cilukba

Then she led me down the aisle by the pipe and glue
Lalu dia membawaku menyusuri lorong dengan pipa dan lem
Asked me if I had any plumbing to do
Dia tanya apakah aku punya pekerjaan pipa yang harus dikerjakan
Hands planted firm on the curve of her hip
Tangannya tegak di lekuk pinggulnya
Looked to me like she was lookin’ for a little lip to lip
Sepertinya dia mencari ciuman sedikit

Chorus:
But I guess you had to be there
Tapi sepertinya kamu harus ada di sana
To believe what I saw
Untuk percaya apa yang aku lihat
Her blue eyes glued to my Liberty coveralls
Mata birunya terpaku pada overall Liberty-ku
She didn’t have a prayer
Dia tidak punya harapan
But I guess you had to be there
Tapi sepertinya kamu harus ada di sana

She even did that little finger thingy through her hair
Dia bahkan melakukan gerakan jari kecil itu melalui rambutnya
Practically undressed me with her Playboy stare
Hampir saja dia membuatku telanjang dengan tatapan Playboy-nya
I gave her back that look that she was lookin’ for
Aku membalas tatapan yang dia cari
I think that she forgot that we was in that store
Aku rasa dia lupa bahwa kami ada di toko itu

Chorus:
But I guess you had to be there
Tapi sepertinya kamu harus ada di sana
To believe what I saw
Untuk percaya apa yang aku lihat
Her blue eyes glued to my Liberty coveralls
Mata birunya terpaku pada overall Liberty-ku
She didn’t have a prayer
Dia tidak punya harapan
But I guess you had to be there
Tapi sepertinya kamu harus ada di sana

Yeah I guess you had to be there
Ya, sepertinya kamu harus ada di sana
To believe what I saw
Untuk percaya apa yang aku lihat
Her blue eyes glued to my Liberty coveralls
Mata birunya terpaku pada overall Liberty-ku
She didn’t have a prayer
Dia tidak punya harapan
But I guess you had to be there
Tapi sepertinya kamu harus ada di sana
