Jewel - Marital Carnival lyrics

rate me

You come home, you look kind of frantic

Too bad cause I feel romantic

I know you're stressed out again

Tonight - I guess - that we're just friends again

You know I'm really not the type to compete

I hope your meetings were filled with lots of good 'meet'

And your appointments have lots of good 'ointments'

to soothe what you could never could satisfy

*** CHORUS ***

Cause I don't care like I did a minute ago

I tried to love you but it was just too stressful though

It's like leavin' your boots on when you go swimming

But I never will fight for what doesn't want winning

You wake up - I'm doing cartwheels

You're grumpy

Said, "Try and see how I feel"

I have, it just wasn't no fun

It's hard enough just waking up next to one

if you were oatmeal - you'd just look for lumps

If you were sweet I'd call you sugarbumps

If you were the sunshine you'd say I was pain

Well I am tired of this capricious game

*** Chorus

Oh Marital Carnival

Oh Marital Carnival

Oh Marital Carnival

Stop!

I want to get off...

Sweetheart, I'm gonna find myself a ride

One that doesn't bring me down this time

One that isn't always on the run

One that can have good old fashioned fun

Cause sweetheart the purpose of my life is nothing more

than to simply be adored

and I'm just like a special chocolate treat

I ain't no piece of leftover hot dogs...

*** Chorus ***

I never will fight for

No!

I never will fight for

Ruff!

I never will fight for what doesn't want winning
