Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell
But I've been seen with Farrah
I've never been seen with anything than a nine
So fine
I've been on fire with Sally Field
Gone fast with a girl named Bo
But somehow they did not end up as mine
It's a death defyin' life I lead
I take my chances
I die for a living in the movies and TV
But hardest thing I ever do
Is watch my leading ladies
Kiss some other guy
While I'm bandagin' my knee
I might fall from a tall building
I might roll a brand new car
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman
That makes Redford such a star
I've never spent much time in school
But I've taught ladies plenty
It's true I hire my body out for pay (hey, hey)
I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs
Blown up for Raquel Welch
But when I wind up in the hay,
It's only hay (hey, hey)
I might jump an open drawbridge
Or Tarzan from a vine
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman
They'll never make me president but I've got the best first ladies.
Some days I've got 'em as far as the eye can see.
A morning dive with Jackie Smith, I crash in the night with Cheryl,
But in the end they never stay with me.
And I might fall from a tall building so Burt Reynolds don't get hurt,
I might leap a mighty canyon so he can kiss and flirt.
While that smoth talker's kissin' my girl I'm just kissin' dirt,
Yes, I'm the lonely stuntman that made a lover out of Burt.
