Aurelio Voltaire - You Married a Fool lyrics
[Aurelio Voltaire - You Married a Fool lyrics]
It happened at a birthday celebration
You said by all accounts I made a scene
I told off-color jokes
Offended several folks
I guess perhaps I might see what you mean
Now if you were to take me to a funeral
I'd be the only fool there in a party hat
I mean no disrespect
I just think "What the heck?
I might just make a grieving widow laugh"
Your girlfriends say it all the time
But your mama says it, too
You married a fool you married a fool
You married a fool but I'm a fool for you
I met you where you worked
Down at the tavern
We sang karaoke songs until you closed
I guess I drank too much
And maybe I lost touch
I'm not sure why I took of all my clothes
It's nothing new, hell
You can ask my mother
I was a joker and a classclown back in school
And I take any gaffe
Just to make some people laugh
And I don't care if I come off a fool
Your girlfriends say it all the time
But your mama says it, too
You married a fool you married a fool
You married a fool but I'm a fool for you
At night we get in bed and
We turn out the lights
It's not a hint of irony
It's not a joke in sight
But in this great, big world of ours
You're the only one around who
Can see the real me
Through the make-up of this
Sad and wounded clown
I like to think I'm like Kenny Rogers
When I stay out late at
Night and play my songs
But this song is no "Lady"
In fact, they're all quite shady
I guess I only sing 'bout things gone wrong
A friend asked if you were my inspiration
You told her: "Have you
Heard this moron sing?
Even has a song that says that
I lost my head when he gave me the ring
What a godawful thing to sing!"
Your girlfriends say it all the time
But your mama says it, too
But they can't see between the lines
To the truth of me and you
I guess I might seem asinine
So hey it might be true that
You married a fool you married a fool
You married a fool
But this fool ain't nothin' but a
Fool in love with you
You said by all accounts I made a scene
I told off-color jokes
Offended several folks
I guess perhaps I might see what you mean
Now if you were to take me to a funeral
I'd be the only fool there in a party hat
I mean no disrespect
I just think "What the heck?
I might just make a grieving widow laugh"
Your girlfriends say it all the time
But your mama says it, too
You married a fool you married a fool
You married a fool but I'm a fool for you
I met you where you worked
Down at the tavern
We sang karaoke songs until you closed
I guess I drank too much
And maybe I lost touch
I'm not sure why I took of all my clothes
It's nothing new, hell
You can ask my mother
I was a joker and a classclown back in school
And I take any gaffe
Just to make some people laugh
And I don't care if I come off a fool
Your girlfriends say it all the time
But your mama says it, too
You married a fool you married a fool
You married a fool but I'm a fool for you
At night we get in bed and

It's not a joke in sight
