That Odd Couple

(Betty Amos)



We're that odd couple on our street

Neighbors stare and wonder

We're a man and wife in love

With each other.



Today a friend of mine came by

Said let's do the town

I can't fix you up

With a cutiest thing around.



She's what I was jokin'

When I told him patiently

The only woman that I want

Is waitin' at home for me.



We're that odd couple on our street

Neighbors stare and wonder

We're a man and wife in love

With each other.

A neighbor on our left

Talked with our neighbor on our right

A man across the street

Goes out almost every night.



I've heard a different man each night

Each is life company

They all think we're square

'Cause we're happy as can be.



We're that odd couple on our street

Neighbors stare and wonder

We're a man and wife in love

With each other.



Yes, we're a man and wife

In love with each other...
