Gotta funny way of saying she's leaving |
|
Like everywhere is just an open door |
|
Gotta funny way of saying she hates me |
|
Has me hollering for more |
|
Sick and tired every night |
|
She says it can be better when it don't feel right |
|
But I'll be going and when I do |
|
Babe, the joke's on you |
|
Got silly notions of romance |
|
Slaps my face 'til it's fire red |
|
Has silly words of second-hand wisdom |
|
Everytime she speaks |
|
I know it's something I'll dread |
|
Made up my mind |
|
There's gotta be a better life |
|
Across that river and I'll be taking my time |
|
You tried to hurt me but I've been evil too |
|
So babe, the joke's on you |
|
Way there on the mountain |
|
You wouldn't even think of rescuing me |
|
She ain't funny but she thinks so |
|
And everyday is just another routine |
|
I told her I was in love with her mother |
|
And had been since we were seventeen |
|
She didn't laugh |
|
I kept my straight face on |
|
I didn't mean to hurt you, babe |
|
Was that pushing too hard? |
|
But I'll be going and when I do |
|
The joke's on you |
|
I'll be going, oh honey it's true |
|
And ya, the joke's on you |
