In Spite Of Ourselves

John Prine · Other Songs - John Prine

(Guys Part)

She dont like her eggs all runny

She thinks crossin her legs is funny

She looks down her nose at money

She gets it on like the easter bunny

Shes my baby, i'm her honey

Never gonna let her go



(Girls Part)

He aint got laid in a month o sundays

I caught him once nd he was sniffin my undies

He aint to sharp but he gets things done

He drinks his beer like it's oxygen

Hes my baby and i'm his honey

Never gonna let him go



(Chorus)

In spite of ourselves,

We'll end up a sittin on a rainbow

Against all odds honey we're the big door prize

We're gonna spite our noses right off of our faces

There wont be nothin but big ole hearts

Dancin in our eyes



(Guys Part)

She thinks all my jokes are corny

Convict movies make her horny

She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs

Swears like a sailor when she shaved her legs

She takes a lickin but she keeps on tickin

I'm never gonna let her go



(Girls Part)

He's got more balls than a big brass monkey

He's a whacked out wierdo and a lovebug junkie

He's sly as a fox and crazy as a loon

When payday comes he's a howlin at the moon

But he's my baby, dont mean maybe

Never gonna let her go



Repeat Chorus 2x



There won't be nothin but big ole hearts

Dancin in our eyes
