Oh, the right thing
Is the hard thing sometimes
When I'm lonely
And just trying to get through the night
No, I never wanted to leave you
Darlin, I know I need to
I said, "for better," I said "for worse,"
When I told you, "I do."
But you got the better of me, baby
And I got the worst of you
You didn't set out to hurt me
Or to let me down
So thoroughly
No, you never wanted to lose me
So why did you choose not to choose me?
You said, "for better," you said "for worse,"
When you told me, "I do."
But you got the better of me, baby
And I got the worst of you
And down to the letter, I meant every word
When I told you, "I do."
But you got the better of me, baby
And I got the worst of you
Why did I get the worst of you?
