When you meet someone new, the butterflies start
You just can’t think straight, she gets into your heart
But the honeymoon, only ever lasts so long
If she isn’t your friend, she’ll win in the end
Believe me I know, It just goes to show
I’ve been baptized by fire, and that’s why I wrote this song
CHORUS:
Some Men Get Screwed, it’s just a fact of life
When you follow the scent of a woman without thinking twice
Oh, it can happen in the blink of an eye,
And when it does, you won’t know why
Some Men Get Screwed, and boy did I
2) Yeah they know what to do, they know what to say
And after it’s over, you’ll just have to pay
They’ll get what they want, ‘cause they’re playing you for a fool
There’s one born every minute, it just takes a smile
She’ll use you for now, but it’s just for a while
So listen up boys, because I’m talking to you
You feel like you've been hit by a big old Mack truck
She'll take the shirt off your back, your last dollar then she'll just say good luck… That’s right!
CHORUS:
Some Men Get Screwed, it’s just a fact of life
When you follow the scent of a woman without thinking twice
Oh, it can happen in the blink of an eye,
And when it does, you won’t know why
Some Men Get Screwed, and boy did I
