Well, I thought I'd be okay
Walking on my lonesome way,
Then you came to the neighborhood bar,
And while Timmy played guitar,
Won me with a smile so bright
That I thought I'd be alright.
And you kissed me one sweet night,
And you pulled me close and tight,
Then you told me one sweet lie,
And I knew right then that I
Was a poor man's answered prayer -
You were drunk and I was there.
Oh, my God,
Oh, my heart.
I'm no maiden fair,
You were drunk and I was there.
And a better girl than I
Would have hung you out to dry.
But I took you to my bed,
And I crumbled when you said,
"Baby, please don't make me wait...
please...."
Oh, my God,
Oh, my heart.
I'm no maiden fair,
You were drunk and I was there.
And a better man than you
Would have seen the ugly truth.
Would have known that I really liked you.
Would have known,
Would have never come home,
Would have never tried,
Would have never lied
to my heart.
Well, I thought I'd be okay,
Maybe good love would come my way,
Then you told me one sweet lie,
And I know right now that I'm
Just a poor man's answered prayer -
please...
Oh, my God,
Oh, my heart.
I'm no maiden fair,
You were drunk and I was there,
You were drunk and I was there.
