[Intro]

[Verse 1]
How can I turn this red cross back into a tick?
Like how come I turned good looks into frail and sick?
Not only did I blind the blind, but I also took their stick
Crippled myself with a baseball bat and a brick

[Chorus 1]
Most other men like to whine about the seven year itch
They're the same men who call you a liar and bitch
But you're the reason I'm still here and not facing a ditch, Mitch
And they're a lot poorer than me, I'm incredibly rich

[Verse 2]
Until I watch them lower my coffin deep down in the grave
Until I hear the digging sound of soil and spade
There doesn't seem a single person able to persuade
This self-indulgent idiot's the easiest laid

[Chorus 1]
Most other men like to whine about the seven year itch
They're the same men who call you a liar and bitch
But you're the reason I'm still here and not facing a ditch, Mitch
And they're a lot poorer than me, I'm incredibly rich

[Chorus 2]
If there's a way to pay you back before I die
If there's one little prayer I can answer, I'll try
Write these words in cloud on the bluest of skies
The best pair of ears to a man who just wanted to cry
The best pair of ears to a man who just wanted to cry

[Verse 3]
How did I screw up and throw such a beautiful chance?
Turned down every women that asked me up to dance
Yes, stab me with the truth; use a sword, use a lance
I'd still think two steps back is the way to advance

[Chorus 1]
Most other men like to whine about the seven year itch
They're the same men who call you a liar and bitch
But you're the reason I'm still here and not facing a ditch, Mitch
And they're a lot poorer than me, I'm incredibly rich

[Chorus 2]
If there's a way to pay you back before I die
If there's one little prayer I can answer, I'll try
Write these words in cloud on the bluest of skies
The best pair of ears to a man who just wanted to cry
The best pair of ears to a man who just wanted to cry

[Outro]
Cry
Cry, cry (Cry, cry, cry)
Cry, cry (Cry, cry, cry)
Cry, cry (Cry, cry, cry)

(Cry, cry, cry)
(Cry, cry, cry)
(Cry, cry, cry)
(Cry, cry, cry)

(Cry, cry, cry)
(Cry, cry, cry)
