Gone Fishing

I love to go fishing,
And I love to date.
I was just wishing,
You would take the bait.

Out on a clear lake,
We were feeling fine.
But my big mistake,
I used an old line.

Was the same line heard,
More than once before.
With her final word,
We don't fish no more.

Now that I look back,
Don't know what to say.
She wouldn't cut me slack,
The one that got away.
