Story Behind The Song
TRUE STORY: WHEN I'M WRITING A SONG I CARRY THE UNFINISHED LYRICS AROUND WITH ME ON A PIECE OF UN-RULED PAPER...IF I GET AN IDEA FOR THE SONG I WRITE IT DOWN...I HAD THIS SONG WITH ME AT A CARDINAL GAME...A BEER VENDOR AT BUSCH STADIUM-ST LOUIS TOLD ME HIS BACK HURT SO BAD HE THOUGHT HE HAD A MONKEY ON IT. THAT'S WHERE THE 3RD VERSE CAME FROM...
"LOVE MONKEY'S RIDING MY BACK...HERE'S TO HAPPY HEART ATTACKS...MY HEART ALWAYS RULES MY HEAD...LOVE WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME YET...NOW YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY...

Lyrics
You know I love the ladies
Sometimes that drives me crazy
My heart always rules my head
Love will be the death of me yet
I've been this way all my life
It takes one wink and a smile
My heart always rules my head
Love will be the death of me yet
Big or little...short or tall
I just want to love them all
I guarantee one sure bet
Love will be the death of me yet
When it comes to the opposite sex
Now that's as good as it gets
I guess I have one regret
Love will be the death of me yet
Love monkey's riding my back
Here's to happy heart attacks
My heart always rules my head
Love will be the death of me yet
