It Never Woulda Worked Out Anyway Songtext
von Brad Paisley

Oh, lighten up, where′s your sense of humor
They're just tiny little rumors
That I started ′cause I'm lookin' out for you
Oh, settle down, I′m just a little jealous
And I′m sure those other fellas
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
They′d really ought to thank me
I was doin' you a favour
′Cause it never woulda worked out anyway


Oh, can't you see, the reason that I′m doin'
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 in cheap motels
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
You'd really ought to thank me
I was doin′ you a favor
'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 club on the ridge
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
You really ought to thank me
I was doin′ you a favour
′Cause it never woulda worked out anyway


It's all because I love you and
I can′t stop thinking of you
And it never woulda worked out anyway
