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 favour,
'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 favour,
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.
INSTRUMENTAL
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 favour,
'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.
