I Hate It When

I Hate It When by Payson Lyon

She had a high school reputation as a girl who partied hardy
She wondered if I’d help her with a bottle of Bacardi
I was way past double vision when she gave my leg a squeeze
I kissed both pairs of ruby lips then threw up on her knees

And I hate it when that happens, it really breaks my heart
But that fool in me that I can’t see pulls the shades down on my smarter part
I fly on inspiration ‘til reality kicks in
And I hate it when that happens, then I do it all again

Well, I made a rule to keep things cool then I met a young blond heiress
Who wanted me for company while her old man flew to Paris
When she took me through that bedroom door of her hide-away upstate
I got a red hot introduction to her husband’s 38

And I hate it when that happens, It really hurts me when
That dog in me tugs on my knee, then wags his tail at the grizzly den
I’m all ego and libido ‘til the roof starts caving in
And I hate it when that happens, then I do it all again

I think I’ve got the game down, and I’m all hot to rip
Then karma throws a curve ball and I’m hanging onto zip

She was sitting on a greyhound bench, I said she was good looking
She smiled at me but could not see the plans that I had cooking
Then she told me she’d run off from home and now she really missed it
I just gave her fifty for the bus, walked out and hollered “Oh..”

How I hate it when that happens, it really tears me up
When that fox I see turns out to be just a lonely little sad-eyed pup
I try to keep me number one, but life won’t let me win
And I hate it when that happens, but sometimes I just grin

Yeah we all hate when that happens then we do it - all - again
