Lyrics
Our Love is a Mess
© Spud Davenport
Everybody knows our love?s a mess
Our only things in common are food ?n? laziness
But it?s all we got
You?ll never be a Beauty Queen and I?m no Astronaut
Don?t you know? Our love is a mess
Lately, I feel you hate me
Yea, I?m a handyman but some things I can?t fix
?Cause Honey, love ain?t plumbing
so if you got a gripe, would you first pass me the Cheez-Its, now??
Our love?s a mess
We like it livin? dirty ?cause we don?t try to impress
It?s all we need
If we keep our goals low enough, we?ll always succeed
yes we will
?cause our love is a mess!
Remember our millionaire neighbors said
?Do yourself a favor,
Start a Money Pyramid!?
Well, that was number 101 of all the woulda-shoulda-coulda dones
we never did?
Well, now, we?re crazy
and we?re lazy
Amazing there?s two of us in this universe
But I confess, I feel blessed
?cause no matter how bad off we are
it can?t get any worse now
Our love?s a mess
But what?s garbage to one man is another?s happiness
Yea, it?s all we got
We?ll keep each other lukewarm even if we don?t get hot
Yes we will
Our love is a mess
We?ll find something new to argue
but it sure beats loneliness, yes yes yes
Our love is a mess
