It Never Woulda Worked Out Anyway

[Verse 1:]
Oh lighten up, where's your sense of humor
They're just tiny little rumors
That I started 'cause I'm looking' 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.

[Verse 2:]
Like the time I told that cowboy that you used to be a man
And the doctor you were dating' that you hide your wedding band
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
You really ought to thank me, I was doing' you a favor
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.

[Verse 3:]
Oh can't you see, the reason that I'm doing'
All the crazy things I'm doing'
Is because I really care about you girl
And I'll admit I go a little farther
Then I know I probably ought
But it's all because I need you in my world.

[Verse 4:]
Like the time I told that lawyer that you spent a year in jail
And the salesman you were seeing' you hang out at cheap motels
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
You really ought to thank me, I was doing' you a favor
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.

[Bridge]
I can't stand the thought of you with anybody else
I know I've gone overboard but I can't help myself.

[Verse 5:]
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 doing' you a favor
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.

[Outro:]
It's all because I love you and I can't stop thinking' of you
And it never woulda worked out anyway.
