Have you ever stared down in the bottom of a coffee cup
And discovered that you got no reason staying up Right at the moment when The caffine is kickin' in So you break down and give an old girlfriend a call Then after two hours of hearing her mindless talk You remember what you dumped her for And you wish you hadn't opened that door [Chorus] I do it and I don't know why Hate to admit it but I think that I Got something rollin' round loose inside That never was screwed down tight I don't know why I do it But I do it all the time Have you ever worked hard To line your pockets with dough Then let a little girl and love start burning a hole Knowing that she'll break your heart And max out your credit cards [Chorus] No, I don't know why I do it But I do it all the time Have you ever fallin' for a girls thinkin' she's the one And you get a funny feeling that your ramblin' days are done You can tell she loves you so much You have to go and screw it up [Chorus] No, I don't know why I do it I do it I do it I do it I do it and I don't know why I got a habit of wreckin' my life Keep leaning left when I want to go right You know it isn't like I haven't tried I don't know why I do it But I do it all the time (Why do it, Don't know why I do it) I don't know why I do it, But I do it all the time.... |

That's all it took to get started back then A trip to the courthouse across that state line No-one could stop her She's made up her mind He was eighteen,an she wasn't But she said she was And never thought twice And came back home as my daddy's wife She just shook her head when her mama said: "Are you sure he's the one?" An she was He took a job and farmed on the side He made the ends meet,but she kept'em tied Changes were comin' to their little world She said "What would you like? "A boy or a girl? And he said,"Are you?" An she said she was And never thoguht twice 'Bout takin' the next step in building their lives Soon there were three and she tried to Everything to us An she was Those preious moments turned into years In what seemed like a blink of an eye I held he rhand as I leaned down to ask her "Momma,are you ready to say goodbye?" An she said she was But she thought twice Holdin' my hand as she let go of life Daddy always said a woman like her Would be hard to give up An she was (She was) If there ever was a picture of love She was |

We sit alone in the darkest corner
waitress comes and takes our order and she looks at us so suspiciously It's plain to see that we're lovers tryin' to be alone with each other It's so hard for us to break free she whispers softly I love you this ain't your average rendezvous Cause I'm in love with a married woman I don't care, I don't care who know it I'm in love with a married woman on her left hand there's a wedding band that she wears faithfully and I thank God she's married to me No cheap hotel where we'll check-in no other lives we'll be wreckin' with alibis to hide a cheaters kiss cause if there's lipstick on my collar you can bet your bottom dollar it's the color she wears on nights like this every friday here at five I try to keep the fire alive |

You would think after all this time I wouldn't let you in tonight that all those feelings for you would be gone you would think but you'd be wrong You would think one little kiss wouldn't temped me like this that I'd have pride and pretend to be strong |

It's funny all things a man can do when he's asleep like playing right field for the Red Sox on national TV or the next night I could the CEO of IBM or making out with Sandra Bullock in the movie we're both in Oh how perfect it would be if my life we're |

Tired of channel surfing El Camino ain't working it's Monday night and I'm hurtin' for company bummed a ride to the hideaway I'm the only guy in the place bored silly wasn't gonna stay then she walked in, heaven sent and it occurs to me What a good night to be lonely somebody's looking out for me oh what an opportunity right out of the blue is it luck or a twist of fate doesn't really matter either way it's a good night, a good night to be lonely Dollars worth of quarters played some songs and ordered one for me and one for her as I tipped my hat said that she felt restless just moved here from Texas that's when I suggested maybe she could dance with me she said thought you'd never ask She's following I'm leading and it feels like I'm dreamin' |
