It's not unusual
To find you holding up that bar
Closing up that honky tonk
Looking like a movie star
You're signing autographs
Inside your twisted mind
Well I got myself a new man
Half as crazy, twice as kind
He never tries to make me jealous
He never tries to make me blue
He don't make himself feel better
By criticizing what I do
And when he says he loves me
I know his words are true
But darling most of all
He never reminds me of you
When I run into you
You always ask me how I've been
Can we get together for tonight
My little friend
But I am out of time
For you and all your hurting ways
Cause I'm all busied up with loving nights and happy days
He never tries to make me jealous
He never tries to make me blue
He don't make himself feel better
By criticizing what I do
And when he says he loves me
I know his words are true
But darling most of all
He never reminds me of you
I know that you think it doesn't matter
With your roguish charm you'll pull me
I know that you're counting on my weak knees
But one thing you never counted on was him
He never tries to make me jealous
He never tries to make me blue
He don't make himself feel better
By criticizing what I do
And when he says he loves me
I know his words are true
But darling most of all
He never reminds me of you
Most of all
He never reminds me of you

Oh oh oh oh
Sweetheart where did I go
Oh oh oh oh
Sweetheart where did I go
Oh oh oh oh
Sweetheart where did I go wrong?
Look up from your beer, girls
Here comes a live one
He looks like a sparkplug
Looks like a lotta fun
Look at that sweet ass
It's too good to pass
That's how I found myself with
Tall dark and humorless
Oh oh oh oh
Sweetheart where did I go
Oh oh oh oh
Sweetheart where did I go
I remember when we were new
Every day felt just like 1982
But as with your high school mowhawk
The novelty grows out and then
You're stuck with a raccoon hat
That calls itself your better half
Oh oh oh oh
Sweetheart where did I go
Oh oh oh oh
Sweetheart where did I go
Oh oh oh oh
Sweetheart where did I go wrong?
He stopped laughing at my jokes
He stopped laughing at my jokes
He stopped laughing a long time ago
By your measure I can't do nothin right
I break the dishes when we're not even in a fight
You're mui sensitivo, and man that stuff gets old
Just like you and me babe
So you'd better grab ahold
And I said
Oh oh oh oh
Sweetheart where did I go
Oh oh oh oh
Sweetheart where did I go
Oh oh oh oh
Sweetheart where did I go wrong?
He stopped laughing at my jokes
He stopped laughing at my jokes
He stopped laughing a long time ago
Oh oh oh oh
Sweetheart where did I go
Oh oh oh oh
Sweetheart where did I go
Oh oh oh oh
Sweetheart where did I go wrong
With you

I thought it was gonna be
You and me against the world
Somehow it turned out to be
You and me against you and me
How many times can you say I'm sorry
I didn't know you couldn't love nobody
So lonely
I thought it was gonna be
You and me against the world
Somehow it turned out to be
You and me against you and me
We fell in love like washing up on an island
It didn't take the storm winds long to find us
And unwind us
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
I told you not to say that you love me
That's when things get good and ugly
So lonely
I thought it was gonna be
You and me against the world
Somehow it turned out to be
You and me against you and me

There's a cheap vacation that I take
Every once in awhile when I need a break
Ten dollars or less
Is all that I pay
I grab a six pack to go
And I'm on my way
I'm gonna get some comfort back
On the other side of a six pack
Just a quick trip and I'll be back
From the other side of a six pack
Some say that's no trip to take
But six bottles deep
Puts a smile on my face
What matters most gets clear
My worries fade away
And I'm a better gal
After a short stay
I'm gonna get some comfort back
On the other side of a six pack
Just a quick trip and I'll be back
From the other side of a six pack
I'm gonna get some comfort back
On the other side of a six pack
Just a quick trip and I'll be back
From the other side of a six pack
From the other side of a six pack

Needles And Pins

I saw him today
I saw his face
It was the face I love
And I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away
Still they begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
I thought I was smart
I'd won his heart
Didn't think I do
But now I see
She's worse to him than me
Let him go ahead
And take her love instead
And one day he will see
Just how to say please
And get down on his knees
Hey that's how it's begins
He'll feel those needles and pins, hurting him, hurting him
Hey that's how it's begins
He'll feel those needles and pins, hurting him, hurting him
Why can't I stop
And tell myself I'm wrong, so wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up
And tell myself I'm strong
Because I saw him today
I saw his face
It was the face I love
And I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away
Still they begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Hey needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
