From LyricWiki
This song is performed by They Might Be Giants and appears on the album John Henry (1994).
Long before the screen door slammed, she was out of Xenia
A stranger could have loved that town, but she had to leave
I wish I'd gotten to know her before I fell in love
I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this cautionary tale
But I swore I'd be true, and I'll swear and I'll swear till Kitten's out of jail
It was like a TV show the way she stole that car
Easy now to criticize, easy now to talk
I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong
I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this cautionary tale
But I swore I'd be true, and I'll swear and I'll swear till Kitten's out of jail
Didn't want to be a slave
Just turned out that way
I wish I'd gotten to know her before I fell in love
I could say she's to blame, say she's the man in this cautionary tale
But I swore I'd be true, and I'll swear and I'll swear till Kitten's out of jail
A stranger could have loved that town, but she had to leave
I wish I'd gotten to know her before I fell in love
I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this cautionary tale
But I swore I'd be true, and I'll swear and I'll swear till Kitten's out of jail
It was like a TV show the way she stole that car
Easy now to criticize, easy now to talk
I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong
I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this cautionary tale
But I swore I'd be true, and I'll swear and I'll swear till Kitten's out of jail
Didn't want to be a slave
Just turned out that way
I wish I'd gotten to know her before I fell in love
I could say she's to blame, say she's the man in this cautionary tale
But I swore I'd be true, and I'll swear and I'll swear till Kitten's out of jail
