PAINTED MYSELF INTO A CORNER
Words & Music
JIM RAINHO
I told her that I loved her, that
I want her for my own
I wrote her love letters, and I called her on the phone
I whipered sweet love words when I should've shut my mouth,
PAINTED MYSELF INTO A CORNER. Now How Do I Get Out?
I guess she got ideas, and that may not be bad
But those are not the same ideas that I had
She went to see a preacher, now I wonder what about
PAINTED MYSELF INTO A CORNER, Now How Do I Get Out?
Well all right so she's pretty,
and she has beautiful eyes
And she probably would make a heck of a wife
But I don't want a wife, now of that there is no doubt
PAINTED MYSELF INTO A CORNER, Now How Do I Get Out?
I know that I'm too old to go 'round playing house
And I think I'm too young to get myself a spouse
We have to have a talk to see what this is all about
PAINTED MYSELF INTO A CORNER, Now How Do I Get Out?
She had me up for dinner and ev'ry
thing was so fine
Then she tried to numb my brain with some powerful wine
I guess I talked too much when I should've shut my mouth
PAINTED MYSELF INTO A CORNER, Now How Do I Get Out?
I'm not going to be the fish caught on her line,
And she's not going to be the sweet rose on my vine
She thinks that she's the only one that I can't do without
PAINTED MYSELF INTO A CORNER,Now How Do I Get Out?
