It Doesn't Hurt to Try

They say all cats are gray at night
Now we can see if they are right
When in the dark we make a switch
How will he know which girl is which?

That means I'll have to lie
One tiny little lie
The risk is fairly high
The risk is somewhat high
Still, it doesn't hurt to try

He knows my voice
I sound unique
How will he know if you don't speak?
He knows the shape beneath my dress
With that dress, it's just a guess

You tell him you're the modest type and he'll put out the light
Then you switch with the other girl
Beneath the veil of night

What if he won't comply?
Why wouldn't he comply?
I don't like bein' sly
Don't think of it as sly
And it doesn't hurt to try

The moment that the sun goes down
Our differences grow fuzzy
A man believes he knows his wife
But in the darkness, does he?

He'll know if she's too tall or fat
So we won't choose a girl like that
He'll know if she's too prude in bed
We'll teach her to be shy instead

The chance of this succeeding I would say is rather small
But if we don't give this a shot
I've got no chance at all
This plan will never fly
It may or may not fly

So much can go awry
A lot can go awry
Still it doesn't hurt to try
Oh yes it doesn't hurt
Confess it doesn't hurt
I guess it doesn't hurt
It doesn't hurt to try
