Lyrics

The New Song
Words and Music: Mark David Manders

Well your car won’t start and you’re late for work
You got cables in your hand, coffee on your shirt
Well, life’s a bitch, but for what it’s worth
I still love you
And all day long you’re watching that clock
Waitin’ on my call, wanting to talk
Well, I didn’t, but believe it or not I still love you
Well, you wanted a family, wanted kids
But you wound up with me instead
You didn’t plan it; it just kind of happened that way
Well you married me for better or worse
Lord, you’re stuck with the second so forget about the first
‘Cause whether it’s a blessing or a curse
I still love you
When I take off my clothes and leave them where they lay
I won’t put my towel or my toothbrush away
Despite the things that you might say
I still love you
And when I stay up drinkin’; I won’t go to sleep
I won’t put down my beer or the toilet seat
And you wonder how you fell for a guy like me
But I still love you
Chorus
When I take you dancing out on the town
And I leave you in the corner while I’m wandering around
Talkin’ to my friends and actin’ like a clown
I still love you
And when the morning comes and we begin to stir
Well, I’ll be the hangover; you be the cure
And you can bet one thing’s for sure
I still love you
Chorus
