Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell
But I've been seen with Farrah
I've never been with anything less than a nine
So fine
I've been on fire with Sally Field
Gone fast with a girl named Bo
But somehow they just don't end up as mine
It's a death defyin' life I lead
I can 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 made 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
'Cos I'm the unknown stuntman
That makes Eastwood look 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. (Ooh-whee)
A morning dive with Jackie Smith, a 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 smooth talker's kissin' my girl I'm just kissin' dirt
Yes, I'm the lonely stuntman that made a lover out of Burt
