(Sometimes Being Vulnerable and Open to Love Just Leads To A Kick In The Nuts)

lyrics

I Got a Sound Mind and Broken Legs
And I'm Sadder Than The Six O'Clock News
I Got a Plaid Suit and a Busted Heart
And A Disease I Can't Even Use!

I Got a Bad Script and a Rubber Spine
And I Find It Hard To Get Up Off the Floor
I Got a Frail Smile and a Bloody Nose
And She Knows I'll Be Right Back For Some More!

If You’ve Never Been A Fool
You’ve Never Been In Love
[Repeat]

I Got a Flimsy Coat and Weak Knees
And She’s Sure That I Haven’t Got The Goods
I Got a Grim Future and an Ugly Bruise
And I’m Still Not Quite Out Of the Woods

I Got a Yellow Streak and an Ambulance Ride
And She Never Means To Hurt Me This Way
I Got a Box of Chocolates and a Nervous Tick
And I’m Looking At a Hospital Stay!

If You’ve Never Been A Fool
You’ve Never Been In Love
[Repeat]

[Guitar Solo]

I Got Sweaty Palms, Now I’m Tapping Out
And I Look Like The Cat Just Dragged Me In
I Got a Bow Tie and a Blank Stare
And Once Again I Take It On The Chin

I Got a Slipped Disc and a Fat Chance
And I'm Wondering How Much More Love Can I Take
I Got a Soft Spot and a Black Eye
And Suddenly I'm Wide Awake!

If You’ve Never Been A Fool
You’ve Never Been In Love
[Repeat]

Every Dog Has His Day
No Matter What You Say
[Repeat]

If You’ve Never Been A Fool
You’ve Never Been In Love
