Harley Poe - Corrupting My Better Half lyrics

"Have you ever been in love?"
"Once she's dead she got shot'"

Cutest girl I ever saw, did I love her
Then why'd I go and do something so cruel?
I married her on that summer day
Did she love me
Well, she said yes so she
Must've been a fool

On our honeymoon night instead
Of making sweet love
I sat her down and confessed my true history
I said, "Baby
I love you and I hope you
Know you're a gift from above
But I killed twenty men and
The cops are after me"

Well she said "That's okay
I don't care dear
'Cause I love you anyway
Honey, a man's gotta do what
A man's gotta do
So be strong and be brave"
Well, I'll try
You know I'll try

And God said it is good
And man and woman should
Become one and be fruitful
Well, we would if we could
But we're runnin' from the law
And we're livin' in a shack
And I'm gonna burn in hell
For corruptin' my better half

Cruisin' down the freeway
Goin' ninety-five
We're robbin' convenience stores and
Tryin' to stay alive
I'm sorry I got the man back there
Could you ever forgive me
For bringin' you into my life when
I should've left you be?

Well she said "That's okay
I don't care dear
'Cause I love you anyway
Honey, a man's gotta do what
A man's gotta do
So be strong and be brave"
Well, I'll try
You know I'll try

And God said it is good
And man and woman should
Become one and be fruitful
Well, we would if we could
But we're runnin' from the law
And we're livin' in a shack
And I'm gonna burn in hell
For corruptin' my better half

The cops have found our hideout
And they shot her
Why'd they go and do something so cruel?
She died right in my arms, I had to leave her
I'm sorry, my love, for being such a fool

Well she said "That's okay
I don't care dear
'Cause I love you anyway
Honey, a man's gotta do what
A man's gotta do
So be strong and be brave"
Well I'll try
Oh Jesus, you know I'll try

And God said it is good
And man and woman should
Become one and be fruitful
Well, we would if we could
But I'm runnin' from the law
And the cops shot down my shack
And I'm gonna burn in hell
For corruptin' my better half

And I'm gonna burn in hell
For corruptin' my better half
And I'm gonna burn in hell
For killin' my better half
