He ain't handsome, he ain't witty, he ain't cute 

Lives in his mother's house, wears a brown suit 

He works, gets paid twice a month 

Tells his friends, "Yeah, I had a girlfriend, once" 
Doesn't do too much, he just kind of hangs around 
Couldn't fall in love until it came and knocked him down 
She's got sisters, they make her cry 
Mom says, "You get your looks from your father's side" 
"You're a very pretty girl" her daddy swears 
She's got a mole on her left cheek with three black hairs 
Bought a beat up Ford with what she'd saved for a wedding gown 
Couldn't fall in love until it came and knocked her down 
They meet at a place, a place where people meet 
"Life ain't all that bad" he says, and she says, "I agree" 
It's a fairy tale for a dragon and a witch 
They're perfect for each other, she ain't pretty he ain't rich 
They're a little bit surprised by what they've found 
Couldn't fall in love until it came and knocked them down 
A pretty girl with coal black hair 
Takes her handsome beau to a family affair 
He kisses mama's right cheek and he gives daddy's hand a shake 
Thinks to himself, "This must be some mistake" 
He's just seen it come and go and come and go around 
Couldn't fall in love until it came and knocked him down
