Murphy's Law Lyrics

How do I love thee this might take a while

T'was at the little gala I first saw your pretty smile

I knew it in an instant I was smitten by your charms

Don't take me for a fool my lass just take me in your arms

How do I love thee girl, look into my eyes

Forget about the fact you think I ain't nobody's prize

So walk with me a while and I'll tell you all's I know

And I bet I'd win your heart before you eat that sloppy joe you know

Oh but how do I love thee girl let me think a bit

I'd love you every way I know if you would just permit

But alas I am a stranger and you're leery of my way

To this I say baloney now let the fiddles play

She was just a little Irish girl born to be a tease when I asked her for to tell me her name

She said her name was Murphy and so I should be warned though my mojo wasn't really to blame

But I wasn't giving up wasn't tossing in the towel wasn't giving up this ornery dame

For tomorrow I'd be back and I'd bring along my varicose veins

How do I love thee girl when you play hard to get

You think I'd take the hint by now but I guess I haven't yet

So walk with me a while through the meadow of the moor

Oh I think I stepped in something Oh I think it's horse manure
