Well i'm not the kind to kiss and tell
but i've been seen with farah.
i've never been with anything less than a nine so fine.
i've been on fire with sally fields
gone fast with a girl named bo
but somehow they just don't end up as mine.
it's a death-defying life i lead
i take my chances.
i die for a livin' in the movies and t.v.
but the hardest thing i ever do
is watch my leadin' ladies
kiss some other guy
while i'm bandagin' my knees.
I might fall from a tall building
i might roll a brand-new car
'cause i'm the unknown stuntman
that made redford such a star.
I've never spent much time in school
but i 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 end 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
that makes eastwood lookes so fine.
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.
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 smooth talker's kissin' my girl
i'm just kissin' dirt
Yes i'm the lonely stuntman
that made a lover out of burt.
