Steve Forbert - I Married a Girl Lyrics

I married a girlA new wave coastal Massachusetts French German caseI married a girlWho didn't get along with her motherI married a girlWho only felt the tears that fall from rage on her faceI married a girlI wanted her and thought I could love herVirgin eyes and the green marinasKitchen tiles and the vacuum cleanersAngry words and the miles between usMajor crimes and the misdemeanorsI married a girlAnd so begun the fifteen year dispute for controlI married a girlWho had to wear the pants and the pantiesI married a girlWho lived up to her birth sign Taurus bull heart and soulI married a girlWho's knack for lack of tact was uncannyVirgin eyes and the green marinasKitchen tiles and the vacuum cleanersAngry words and the miles between usMajor crimes and the misdemeanorsIf I say I miss you I miss you I do girlIf I say I'm sorry believe me somehowIf I say your happy, I'm happy for you girlIf you find your true love I wish you that now NowI married a girlI knew her stubborn ways would keep me stressed and distressedI married a girlAlthough I saw what fate would befallI married a girlLeaving now I lose my home and place in that nestI married a girlThe easy part's I know she won't call meVirgin eyes and the green marinasKitchen tiles and the vacuum cleanersAngry words and the miles between usMajor crimes and the misdemeanorsWhat I did I did for meAnd also you to some degreeI saw the truth and set you freeI hope we'll learn what love could be now
