Getting Even

Give me something beautiful
I'll break it
Give me half a chance to make a mess
I'll make it
And give me love like hers
I'll forsake it
That's the kind of fool I am

One too many
And I'm gonna quit calling
I should be strong
But I keep on falling
Apologize
Come back crawling
I just don't understand

Should've killed me
But she didn't
She could hold it all against me
But she isn't
She ought to know better
With a man like me
But she just keeps on loving
When she ought to be leaving
She's got an odd way of getting even

A heart like Jesus
Always patient
And mercy leads to salvation
She don't give up
She keeps on praying
I keep on trying
I keep on failing

Shoulda killed me
But she didn't
She could hold it all against me
But she isn't
She ought to know better
With a man like me
But she just keeps on loving
When she ought to be leaving
Oh she ought to know better
With a man like me
But she just keeps on loving
When she ought to be leaving
She's got an odd way of getting even

Should've killed me
But she didn't
She could hold it all against me
But she isn't
She ought to know better
With a man like me
But she just keeps on loving
When she ought to be leaving
Oh she's got an odd way of getting even
Getting even
