Lyrics
Can't You Take a Little Joke? © 2006 Bill Slater BMI
I went out walking what a beautiful day
I heard the rumors running while I?m away
I know it?s true
What should I do?
What should I say?
It started out like such a beautiful day!
They say they saw you out last night on the town
And sitting next to you was some other clown
Didn?t you care for my erotic display?
That time I fell asleep and dreamed I was gay
What?s wrong with all my friends who drink til they choke?
What?s the matter honey
Can?t You Take a Little Joke?
When we first met I thought I just up and died
And now I wish that I?d been right at the time
Don?t worry baby I?m just kidding with you
You know that stalking ain?t a thing that I do
Just cause I?m angry doesn?t mean I misspoke
What?s the matter honey
Can?t You Take a Little Joke?
I?m rubber I guess that makes you glue!
Now that I found out about the things you do
So when you tell me both of us were untrue
It just bounces off of me and then it sticks to you!
All of my stuff is on the curb in a pile
If I?m a loser I?m a loser with style
The judge has ordered me to shut up and pay
I didn?t mean to shoot that bullet your way
And just forget you left me hungry and broke
What?s the matter honey
Can?t You Take a Little Joke?
