I bought me a thirty-eight
I just got back from Heaven's Gate
(He's courtin' Courtney)

I didn't think she'd get far
But now she's a fuckin' movie star
(He's courtin' Courtney)
(He's courtin' Courtney)

She'll keep me in beer and cigarettes
And be my turtle dove
It's Courtney
She's the one I love

Don't wanna be unkind
But she's the kind of girl that make you lose your mind
(He's courtin' Courtney)
(He's courtin' Courtney)

I help her spend her cash
I treat her just like trailer trash
(He's courtin' Courtney)
(He's courtin' Courtney)

Sugar, spice, everything nice
I don't need to heed your priceless advice
When I'm courtin' Courtney Love
Hey!
[Guitar solo]

She'll keep me in beer and cigarettes
And be my turtle dove
It's Courtney
She's the one I love

I think I'll throw a fit
I've made my bed, I'm gonna lie in it
(He's courtin' Courtney)
(He's courtin' Courtney)

(Courting) I'm courtin' Courtney
('Cause he's courting) I'm courtin' Courtney, Courtney
('Cause he's courting) I'm courtin' Courtney, Courtney, Courtney
('Cause he's courting) I'm courtin' Courtney, Courtney, Courtney
('Cause he's courting) I'm courtin' Courtney, Courtney
('Cause he's courting) I'm courtin' Courtney, Courtney, Courtney
('Cause he's courting) I'm courtin' Courtney, Courtney...
