(Have you ever been in love?)
(Once. She is dead. She got shot)
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
