Lyrics

She sent me out a searching
For a caragana switch
For I deserved a beating
Or so my mother said

The thin ones leave you bleeding
And the thick ones hurt like hell
Which is where I’m going anyway
Or so my mother tells

As adeptly as I’m able
I consider every branch
Every leaf blowing gently in the breeze
But there’s no way of winning
So I take a random stab
And sing, "oh, the pain that you’ll bring me"

I went out a waltzing
With a soldier and his gun
With a salesman who went door to door
And an old politician

The mean ones leave you bleeding
And the sweet ones hurt like hell
Which is where I’m going anyway
Like my mother used to tell

As adeptly as I’m able
I consider every man
Every kiss blown and every ardent plea
But there’s no way of winning
So i take a random stab
And sing, "oh, the pain you’ll bring to me"
