Lyrics
Verse 1:
I saw that look on your face, when I first brought her home
And I was pretty sure I heard you groan
With her red high heels, and curves like a country road
She had me in sensory overload
Pre-Chorus:
You said that tramp don?t have the class
To put a napkin on her lap
But we gone to the courthouse anyway
And now for the words a man hates to say . . .
Chorus:
You were right about her, mama!
First time I turned my back she was runnin? around
You were right about her, mama!
My pickup truck is gone, & she?s skipped town
And the worst part of all, don?t you know
Is hearin? you tell me . . . you told me so. . .
you told me so. . . you told me so
Verse 2:
Now they whisper behind my back, when I go to the grocery store
And I?m humiliated to the core
I guess I should have known I couldn?t handle the likes of her
But her tattoo rose and fishnet hose, they made me stir
Pre-Chorus 2:
You said that girl don?t have the brains
To know cheap whiskey from champagne
But I took the low road anyway
And now for the words a man hates to say . . .
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Six whole weeks of matrimony,
But you couldn?t call it holy
I hate like hell to admit it
But I know you?ll never let me forget it
Repeat Chorus
