lyrics

I’m not saying that I’m your kind of man.
(But I am)
You keep trying to give my heart a chance
(why wait)
You keep sayin’ that my love is a curse
(and it is)
And I keep joking that your heart is a hurse
(kills me)
But life ain’t nothin’ until you found someone
(to die for)

Oh they say I am fool but,
wiser men have been struck dumb by you.

Love is not. Devotion. It’s a feeling / Leave your man.

I might be a fucking fool,
but I’m that fool for you.
Made your life a mess
but I will clean it up.
I know that you married him,
but things do change.
Tell it on the mountain
that started as a hill.
Love is only hard
so that you will move on.
Writing's on the wall,
and I wrote it there.
Count to three,
It’s that easy.

Not too young and not too hung I know.
(So-rry)
But I have got a miner’s heart of gold.
(for you)
I keep wishing that your heart was a crook.
(steal mine)
I’m just sayin that life’s too short to lie.
(with him)
I keep waiting like a star too shine.
(for you)
And I don’t care that your wasting all my time,
(it’s yours)
