Oh lighten up, wheres your sense of humor
Theyre just tiny little rumors
That I started cause Im lookin out for you
Oh settle down, Im just a little jealous
And Im sure those other fellas
Never once believed the lies I told were true
Like the time I told that cowboy that you used to be a man
And the doctor you were datin that you hide your wedding band
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
You really ought to thank me, I was doin you a favor
cause it never woulda worked out anyway
Oh cant you see, the reason that Im doin
All the crazy things Im doin
Is because I really care about you girl
And Ill admit I go a little farther
Than I know I probably oughta
But its all because I need you in my world
Like the time I told that lawyer that you spent a year in jail
And the salesman you were seein you hang out at cheap motels
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
You really ought to thank me, I was doin you a favor
cause it never woulda worked out anyway
I cant stand the thought of you with anybody else
I know Ive gone overboard but I cant help myself
Like the time I told that dentist you had seven little kids
And you doubled as a dancer at the strip joint on the ridge
Even if I am responsible for scaring him away
You really ought to thank me, I was doin you a favor
cause it never woulda worked out anyway
Its all because I love you and I cant stop thinkin of you
And it never woulda worked out anyway
