In Spite Of Ourselves

She don't 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
She's my baby
I'm her honey
I'm never gonna let her go

He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
I caught him once sniffin' my undies
He ain't real sharp but he gets things done
He drinks his beer like it's oxygen
He's my baby
I'm his honey
I'm never gonna let him go

Chorus:

In spite of ourselves
We'll end up sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite the noses right off of our faces
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes

She thinks all my jokes are funny
Convict movies make her hirny
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
Swears like a sailor when she shaves her legs
She takes a lickin'
And keeps on tickin'
I'm never gonna let her go

He's got more balls than a big brass monkey
He's a wacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
Shy as a fox and crazy as a loon
Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
He's my baby
I don't mean maybe
I'm never gonna let him go

Chorus
