Well, I told all my friends that got lucky That I finally met love of my life
I shouted aloud how I was so proud But also to Tom, my ex-wife
Well, I thought that I backed me a winner The money was counted and stacked
But I found her in bed with Jack and them Fred She was a favorite that everyone backed
I put the ring on her finger Like I backed me a son
As I put the eye into naive And she put the action to her
Love lifted me so high Pushed me down in the dirt
When I put the eye into naive And she put the action to her
Well, I pulled to one side, my dear children And I showed them my face on the phone
Daddy, they said, go and get yourself wet Or you're spending your lifetime alone
Well, I spent a year whining and dying Now I have to go back and I'll say
Oh, life comes and goes And it dies like a rose
And you have to go throw it away
I put the ring on her finger Like I backed me a son
As I put the eye into naive And she put the action to her
Love lifted me so high Pushed me down in the dirt
When I put the eye into naive And she put the action to her
He put the G into gullible And also the G into green
The S into shame The D into dumb
The F into fool that I've been The F into fool that I've been
I put the ring on her finger Like I backed me a son
As I put the eye into naive And she put the action to her
Love lifted me so high Pushed me down in the dirt
When I put the eye into naive And she put the action to her
