I knew a girl when I was young She lived across the street When I was bored for a little fun I'd put drawing pins on her seat We were all in love with her She was kind and she was sweet But she always seemed to see the worst in me I met a girl in my college years Filled with hope and filled with grace When I'd had too many beers I'd curse her to her face I was so in love with her She was all I'd ever need But she always seemed to see the worst in me I met a girl and I married her Settled on settling down I was too weak to carry her But I could always put her down I was so in love with her But love can be so mean And she always seemed to see the worst in me People always telling me Don't lead a lonely life When I'm dead you can bury me Next to someone else's wife When I'm at the pearly gates Heading for eternity I hope they don't see the worst in me
