lyrics

Care to explain to me how this love came to be?
How could I ever be so lucky?
It's plain and simple, see that just one man like me
Can only ever get to be so happy.
Outside, she's knockin' wet. I'm singing, "Ready, set,
Go!" but you haven't even gotten here yet.
A broken closet; no need to go and fret.
Let's make a night the two of us will never forget.

Drivin' you back where you belong up north,
Then I'm wakin' up to a call or three or four.
I make the mad dash up to the airport
To say, "Babe, why you gotta go and leave me for?"

I know you're leavin' soon, and I mean this afternoon,
But I can't imagine being hewn from you.
Singin' a different tune, home to an empty room,
In another life, I would've been your groom.
Care to explain to me how this love came to cease?
How could I ever be so unlucky?
It's plain and simple, see that just one man like me
Can only ever get to be so happy.

Drivin' me back where I belong down south,
Wakin' up to a bad taste in my mouth.
These thoughts make me mad, and I can't get them out,
Shoutin', "Babe, why'd you have to go and leave me now?"
