Oh lighten up
They're just tiny little rumors that I started 'cause I'm lookin' out for you
Oh settle down
Never once believed the lies I told were true
Like the time I told that cowboy that you used to be a man
And the doctor you were datin' that you hide your wedding band
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
And you'd really ought to thank me
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway
Oh can't you see
All the crazy things I'm doin' is because I really care about you girl
And I'll admit I go a little farther than I know I probably oughta
But it's all because I need you in my world
Like the time I told that lawyer that you spent a year in jail
And the salesman you were seein' you hang out at cheap motels
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
And you'd really ought to thank me
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway
I can't stand the thought of you with anybody else
I know I've gone overboard but I can't help myself
Like the time I told that dentist you had seven little kids
And you doubled as a dancer at the strip joint on the ridge
Even if I am responsible for scaring him away
And you really ought to thank me
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway
Oh it's all because I love you
And I can't stop thinkin' of you
And it never woulda worked out anyway
