I know, I am not a model husband
Although, I'd like to be
But payday nights and painted women
They do strange things to me

But when the party's over
And the good is all she sees
Though I let her down, she still comes around
To love what's left of me

Six days out of seven
I work hard at doing right
But believe me, you could set your watch
Find me on Friday night

I'm lucky that she understands
The fool that lives in me
Though I let her down, she still comes around
To love what's left of me

The way that I'm living now
It's a wonder she can take it
That woman's got a heart of gold
And it's killing me to break it

I know I don't deserve her
But I'm thankful as could be
Though I let her down, she still comes around
To love what's left of me

Though I let her down, she still comes around
To love what's left of me
