She don't love me for my money Come friday night half my money's spent Every time it rains the roof starts leakin' She don't love me for this shack where we pay rent Somethin' keeps her holdin' on so strong My Baby loves me because I'm country And I'm confessin' it's runnin' in my veins I got the fever I'm a true believer She wouldn't have me any other way She don't love me for my cookin' She tells me every time I burn the toast It's common knowledge that I'm not good lookin' When it comes to that I missed out more than most Somethin' keeps her holdin' on so strong My Baby loves me because I'm country
And I'm confessin' it's runnin' thru my veins I got the fever I'm a true believer She wouldn't have me any other way Somethin' keeps her holdin' on so strong So strong yeah, yeah My Baby loves me because I'm country I think she knows now I'm never gonna change I got the fever I'm a true believer She says she wouldn't have me any other way, yeah yeah yeah My Baby loves me just because I'm country I know she knows now it's runnin' in my veins I got the fever I'm a true believer She says she wouldn't have me any other way, yeah yeah
