Oh lighten up, where's your sense of humor
|
They're just tiny little rumors
|
That I started 'cause I'm lookin' out for you
|
Oh settle down, I'm just a little jealous
|
And I'm sure those other fellas
|
Never once believed the lies I told were true
|
|
Like the time I told that cowboy that you used to be a man
|
And the doctor you were datin' that you hide your wedding band
|
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
|
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favor
|
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway
|
|
Oh can't you see, the reason that I'm doin'
|
All the crazy things I'm doin'
|
Is because I really care about you girl
|
And I'll admit I go a little farther
|
Than I know I probably oughta
|
But it's all because I need you in my world
|
|
Like the time I told that lawyer that you spent a year in jail
|
And the salesman you were seein' you hang out at cheap motels
|
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
|
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favor
|
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway
|
|
I can't stand the thought of you with anybody else
|
I know I've gone overboard but I can't help myself
|
|
Like the time I told that dentist you had seven little kids
|
And you doubled as a dancer at the strip joint on the ridge
|
Even if I am responsible for scaring him away
|
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favor
|
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway
|
|
It's all because I love you and I can't stop thinkin' of you
|
And it never woulda worked out anyway
|
