Written by: Micky and Willy Braun


I was ridin’ on a one way ticket to an early grave

My path of destruction has long been paved

If not for you, I might have never been saved

But you caught me at a bad time


Chorus:

Why you gotta be so pretty?

Why you gotta be so cool?

You’re all that I want and the last thing I need

Is to fall in love with you


I was planning on a couple more years

Of painting this town

I’ve never met a woman who could hold me down

But you’re the one girl that could turn it all around

But you could have picked a better time


Chorus


Bridge:

Adios to all those late nights

And the end of care-free days

I don’t think I’ll put up a fight

If you’ll just stand in my way


Chorus
