Lyrics

you know i had a pretty woman
or more like she had me.
when she took it on the run
she took down my economy.

she like 2 drive me mad.
baby like 2 drive me mad.
maybe i expect 2 much
or i'm just a soft damn touch,
but she like 2 drive me mad.      

you know i bought her gold
and i bought her fur,
took a 2nd mortgage on my coffin
just 2 be good 2 her.

she like 2 drive me mad
i give her everything i had
if my best wasn't good enough,
can i at least have back my stuff?
or was it just 2 drive me mad?

my grandpa told me
some women's like empty sacks
you give 'em crepe suzettes
they'll say they wanted crackerjacks

they're here 2 drive you mad
boy, they're all here just 2 drive you mad
read the writing on the wall
they're all just here 2 drive you mad.

they say, if god wants 2 destroy ya
first, he'll make you mad
maybe he's a fun-lovin' deity
but his laws is ironclad.

it like 2 drive u mad
when u give it everything you had.
maybe he knows good from bad
but this guesswork like to drive me mad.

you know i loved that woman
but she didn't love me.
now she's takin' it on the run
somewhere across the sea.

she like 2 drive me mad.
baby like 2 drive me mad.
maybe i expect 2 much,
or i'm just a soft damn touch,
but she like 2 drive me mad.      

it's a helluva note to find
good love gone bad.
and instead of gettin' got
you just got gotten had.

it like 2 drive you mad.
bad love will like 2 drive you mad.
but if my best wasn't good enough,
can at least i have back my stuff?
or was it just 2 drive me mad?

I thought I found me a good woman,
but didn't check her bona fides.
so she played me for a chump
and took me for a ride.

she like 2 drive me mad.
i give her everything i had.
maybe i expect 2 much
or i'm just a soft damn touch,
but she like 2 drive me mad.   

i brought her home the bacon
for sumpin like 7-8 years
but she didn't bring me comfort,
she only brought me tears.

she like 2 drive me mad
i give her everything i had.
maybe i expect 2 much
or i'm just a soft damn touch,
but she like 2 drive me mad.   

boys, you get a good woman
hang on tight to her.
cause i ain't just down here singin'
there's sumpin' i'm lookin' 4.

but it ain't 2 drive u mad
or see your heart broke just to make u sad.
life's hard enough without all that stuff
i won't help it drive u mad.

i worked hard 4 that woman
i sweat thru my clothes
the onliest job she talked about
was the one she wanted done on her nose.

she like 2 drive me mad.
baby like 2 drive me mad.
maybe i expect 2 much
or i'm a soft damn touch
but she like 2 drive me mad.  
    
my grandpa told me
some women is like empty sacks
you give 'em crepe suzettes,
they'll say they wanted crackerjacks

they're here 2 drive you mad
boy, they just here 2 drive you mad
read the writing on the wall
they're all just here 2 drive you mad.
