lyrics

I fold down the corners on the pages of my life
And skip over the chapters that I wasted on my wife.
I know I'm not too handsome,
I know I'm not too tall
But sit down darlin'
And tell me it all.

I like my hotels with thick carpets and old lifts,
I like to eat my grapes sour with pips.
I know I'm not too rich,
I know I'm going bald
But sit down darlin'
And tell me it all.

I was just a girl that kept her feelings well hid
And my conscience stayed quiet about the things that I did,
I locked up my heart but gave a man the key,
He wasn't much to many but he meant a lot to me.

We wandered to and we wandered fro,
Drank a lot of liquor a did a lot of blow.
I was the fruit and he was the rind,
I was the clock and he was the time.

You know what they say about love
And you know what's always being sung
But relationships are more like chicken pox:
You've got to get immune when you're young.
