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
