"She Puts Up With Me" By Yves Stilmant © 2025
[Verse 1a]
Tried to flirt at the county fair
Spilled my chili, tripped on air
Said "Hey sweet tea" to a cactus stand
She walked by and grabbed my hand
[Verse 1b]
Took her out, forgot my card
Laughed so hard she snorted hard
I said "Sorry," turned all red
She said, "Boy, you're a mess -- but go ahead"
[Pre-Chorus]
Every date's a little wild
But she just shakes her head and smiles
[Chorus]
She puts up with me
When I talk too fast and spill my drink
Still calls me sweet, still wants that kiss
Even when I screw up stuff like this
She don't need fancy, just wants real
And somehow loves the way I feel
She puts up with me -- and that's all I need
[Verse 2a]
Sent her memes instead of flowers
Waited two whole awkward hours
Called her "dude" in front of friends
She still laughed and said "Here he goes again"
[Verse 2b]
Tried to cook her dinner right
Burnt the steak, forgot the rice
We ate popcorn and watched TV
She said "This is perfect -- just you and me"
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't smooth, I ain't slick
But she's still here -- that's the trick
[Chorus]
She puts up with me
When I dance off-beat and miss my key
Still hugs me tight, won't let me slip
Even when I say dumb sh*t
She don't want perfect, just wants true
And I'm lucky she thinks I'll do
She puts up with me -- and I love her too
[Bridge]
One day I'll stop messin' up
But 'til then, she fills my cup
[Final Chorus - repeat & shout-along style]
She puts up with me!
(Yeah she puts up with me!)
When I act a fool or lose my keys
(She still rides with me!)
She don't want perfect, just wants true
And I'm lucky she thinks I'll do
She puts up with me -- that's love, that's true!
[Outro - group chant vibe]
Yeah, she puts up with me!
(And I put down roots!)
She puts up with me!
(That's one good woman, shoot!)
