You in you out I'm excited again Maybe you maybe not but we'll not pretend I love you a lot and there ain't no doubt Maybe you maybe not but we're gonna find out
I met her on a drunken night when I put my head down on her shoulder We danced I suppose I lifted arms just to hold her
I'm in love with the look in your eyes When you are angry ain't it just a disguise There's evening empires and who's got the crown now? We pay it no mind if one decides to be the clown now
I asked her to marry me when I heard a voice to tell me to I was layin' down in bed it said ask her she might let you I says I haven't got a ring and many things we'd have to do It says you pay it no mind now who's gonna forget you? I asked her to marry me she asked if I was serious How could she not know I's serious I thought she's beggin' me to Well I buried my head and said yes and she said yes I said oh my and then I kissed her and then nothing happened...
A cloud descended like a dust and my head hurt but I was tired The next day I had the most brilliant idea at work I said, Hey! I'll call it off!
Didn't see her after work I had another engagement, seeing the new City Treasurer being sworn in he was my step dad When I got home oh man my head was really throbbin' now and I could hardly stand Pile of dishes, pile of clothes every gadget turned on and ev'ry window closed I said don't mind the dishes and let me turn off all of those there was a grouchin' in my voice and I took off most my clothes I opened up a window let the evening air in, started on the dishes and she thinks it's a sin Well I got to bed and she was cold as the North pole I forgot my idea and started workin' on my soul Next morning finally comes and she's still not lookin' at me and I told her let's forget it she said hey why not forget 'we' I tried to explain that marriage ain't all that there is and it was clouding up my mystery let's just leave it where it is She just drove me to work I said you should make up your mind, cause you can sure leave me I ain't the crawlin' back kind
What this is all about Maybe you maybe not I got my mystery back And we're gonna find out
