It happened at a birthday celebration
You said by all accounts i made a scene
I told off-color jokes,
Offended several folks.
I guess perhaps i might see what you mean.

Now if you were to take me to a funeral,
I'd be the only fool there in a party hat.
I mean no disrespect,
I just think "what the heck?
I might just make a grieving widow laugh."
Your girlfriends say it all the time,
But your mama says it, too,
You married a fool
You married a fool
You married a fool
But i'm a fool for you. i met you where you worked, down at the tavern.
We sang karaoke songs until you closed.
I guess i drank too much,
And maybe i lost touch.
I'm not sure why i took of all my clothes.

It's nothing new, hell, you can ask my mother.
I was a joker and a classclown back in school.
And i take any gaffe
Just to make some people laugh.
And i don't care if i come off a fool.
Your girlfriends say it all the time,
But your mama says it, too,
You married a fool
You married a fool
You married a fool
But i'm a fool for you.

At night we get in bed and we turn out the lights.
It's not a hint of irony, it's not a joke in sight.
But in this great, big world of ours
You're the only one around who can see the real me
Through the make-up of this sad and wounded clown.
I like to think i'm like kenny rogers
When i stay out late at night and play my songs.
But this song is no "lady"
In fact, they're all quite shady.
I guess i only sing 'bout things gone wrong.
