It happened at a birthday celebration |
|
You said by all accounts I made a scene |
|
I told off-color jokes, |
|
Offended several folks. |
|
I guess perhaps I might see what you mean. |
|
Now if you were to take me to a funeral, |
|
I'd be the only fool there in a party hat. |
|
I mean no disrespect, |
|
I just think "What the heck? |
|
I might just make a grieving widow laugh." |
|
Your girlfriends say it all the time, |
|
But your mama says it, too, |
|
You married a fool |
|
You married a fool |
|
You married a fool |
|
But I'm a fool for you. I met you where you worked, down at the tavern. |
|
We sang karaoke songs until you closed. |
|
I guess I drank too much, |
|
And maybe I lost touch. |
|
I'm not sure why I took of all my clothes. |
|
It's nothing new, hell, you can ask my mother. |
|
I was a joker and a classclown back in school. |
|
And I take any gaffe |
|
Just to make some people laugh. |
|
And I don't care if I come off a fool. |
|
Your girlfriends say it all the time, |
|
But your mama says it, too, |
|
You married a fool |
|
You married a fool |
|
You married a fool |
|
But I'm a fool for you. |
|
At night we get in bed and we turn out the lights. |
|
It's not a hint of irony, it's not a joke in sight. |
|
But in this great, big world of ours |
|
You're the only one around who can see the real me |
|
Through the make-up of this sad and wounded clown. |
|
I like to think I'm like Kenny Rogers |
|
When I stay out late at night and play my songs. |
|
But this song is no "Lady" |
|
In fact, they're all quite shady. |
|
I guess I only sing 'bout things gone wrong. |
|
A friend asked if you were my inspiration. |
|
You told her: "Have you heard this moron sing? |
|
Even has a song that says that |
|
I lost my head when he gave me the ring. |
|
What a godawful thing to sing!" |
|
Your girlfriends say it all the time, |
|
But your mama says it, too, |
|
But they can't see between the lines |
|
To the truth of me and you, |
|
I guess I might seem asinine, |
|
So hey it might be true that |
|
You married a fool |
|
You married a fool |
|
You married a fool |
|
But this fool ain't nothin' but a fool in love with you. |
