Creeping through the backyard late in the morning Don't wanna wake up my wife You hear a shotgun blast that will be the warning Yeah, you better run for your life This ain't no way of living, always fighting, no forgiving Half my life's on my bended knee Could you meet me in the middle? Show you love me just a little And won't see the backside of me Hell has no fury like a woman's scorn Make a strong man wish that he'd never been born Go messin' with the lady, she's gonna drive you crazy Leave you standin' on the street Out there alone Got everything that you own If there's a moral to this story I'd be the last one to know Take your pleasure where you find it, hold it close while you can And baby, don't let it go Hell has no fury like a woman's scorn Make a strong man wish that he'd never been born Go messin' with the lady, good god, she's gonna drive you crazy Leave you standin' on the street Without no home She gonna take everything that you own Hell has no fury like a woman's scorn Make a strong man wish that he'd never been born Go messin' with the lady, she's gonna drive you crazy Leave you standin' on the street Hell has no fury like a woman's scorn Make a strong man wish that he'd never been born Go messin' with the lady, she's gonna drive you crazy Leave you standin' on the street Out there alone Got everything that you own
