Chorus

Cutest girl I ever saw, did I love her?

Then why'd I go and do something so cruel?

I married her on that summer day, did she love me?

Well, she said yes so she must've been a fool

On our honeymoon night instead of making sweet love

I sat her down and confessed my true history

I said, "Baby, I love you and I hope you know you're a gift from above,

but I killed twenty men and the cops are after me."

Well, she said, "That's okay. I don't care dear

'Cause I love you anyway.

Honey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

so be strong and be brave."

Well, I'll try

You know I'll try

And God said it is good

And man and woman should

Become one and be fruitful

Well, we would if we could

But we're runnin' from the law

And we're livin' in a shack

And I'm gonna burn in hell

For corruptin' my better half

Cruisin' down the freeway goin' ninety-five

We're robbin' convenience stores and tryin' to stay alive

I'm sorry I got that man back there. Could you ever forgive me?

For bringin' you into my life when I shoulda let you be

Well, she said, "That's okay. I don't care dear

'Cause I love you anyway.

Honey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

so be strong and be brave."

Well, I'll try

Oh God, you know I'll try

And God said it is good

And man and woman should

Become one and be fruitful

Well, we would if we could

But we're runnin' from the law

And we're livin' in a shack

And I'm gonna burn in hell

For corruptin' my better half

WOO!

The cops have found our hideout and they shot her

Why'd they go and do somethin' so cruel?

She died in my arms, I had to leave her

I'm sorry, my love, for being such a fool

But she said, "That's okay. I don't care dear

'Cause I love you anyway.

Honey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

so be strong and be brave."

Well, I'll try

Oh Jesus, you know I'll try

And God said it is good

And man and woman should

Become one and be fruitful

Well, I would if I could

But I'm runnin' from the law

And the cops shot down my shack

And I'm gonna burn in hell

For corruptin' my better half

And I'm gonna burn in hell

For corruptin' my better half

And I'm gonna burn in hell

For killing my better half
