Lyrics

All you want is a lover to leave
A kind of cold that I ain’t ever seen
Reaching to rip out the rug any old time you please
I love you honey, why you so mean to me

Stranded at the altar
Of a beachfront wedding in Bayview, Milwaukee
Borrowed this suit of clothes
From another groomsman with twenty pounds on me

Stranded on a sidewalk
This street’s native name it’s sort of tricky to speak
Bless the happy couple
Who put me up on a sofa bed in the honeymoon suite

All you want is a lover to leave
A kind of cold that I ain’t ever seen
Reaching to rip out the rug any old time you please
I love you honey, why you so mean to me

Stranded at The Backyard
Count me minus one with lots of time to explain
Heads up, pressing my luck
Playing at a backyard by any other name

Stranded at a campground
Happy ever after was a lot to assume
I’m doing all I can now
To remember how I got to depending on you

All you want is a lover to leave
A kind of cold that I ain’t ever seen
Reaching to rip out the rug any old time you please
I love you honey, why you so mean to me
I love you honey, why you so mean to me
I love you honey, why… why you so mean to me
