It Never Woulda Worked Out Anyway
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 an responsible for scarin' 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 in cheap motels
Even if I am responsible for scarin' them away
You really ought to thank me
I was just 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 double as a dancer
At the strip joint on the ridge
Even if I am responsible for scarin' him away
You really ought to thank me
I was just 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
