Well here's how this whole mess got started

Had a stripper at a bachelor party

I knew when she jumped out of that cake

F G

We were meant to be

The next date we both flew off to Vegas

I must have been an ignoramus

I honestly believed that she

Loved me just for me

G Am F C

Oh it wasn't six months it came to an end

G Am

I walked out of the courtroom crying

She left with a grin

Cause she got half

And I said "OW!"

I mean dang

F C

That comes to nearly fifty thou

Per date

Am F

My butt had never been so chafed

Cause she got half

I wondered if I'd remain lonely

Or would I find my one and only

Then the answer to my prayers

F G

Ap peared on my TV

The cutest little tarot card reader

I knew that I just had to meet her

Then she said it was in the cards

For her to marry me

G Am F C

Oh wasn't three months later I was back in court a gain

G Am

No way she could have predicted

The way it would end

Cause I got half

And she said "OW!"

Two dollars a minute

So every one call right now

Your

Future aw aits

Am F

And I will be the next Bill Gates

Cause I get half

Some times you're better off as friends

Cause if it ever ends

G C

Then they get half

And you'll say "OW"

Am F

So I'm not looking to get married right now

C G

I've got a date

Am F

With a beautiful Playboy Play mate

Who won't get half
