Come gather 'round me friends, i'll sing you a story
about my little lovely lady, my darlin' cutie shorty
this is a thing that i never thought i'd do

And you know i'd love to say i told you so
but just how little did i know
she was just too good to be true

I knew she was trouble from the first time that she fuckt me
i met her at the Mutantfest and lost her at the Lusty
she was the best i ever had and i've had quite a few

And the harder she came, the harder i fell
and i fell in love and then i fell straight to hell
she was just too good to be true

And baby when i needed you, you really let me down
i thought that i was special, now i feel like just a clown
i know that i ain't perfect and i never been the best
but i always thought that our love would rise to the test
but baby, i forgive you and i would still love you
if you only would be true

And i'll make friends with metalheads, i'll party with punk rockers
but i just can't abide by no junkie jizz-moppers
gettin' with the girl that i put so much love into

And i guess i should have seen the graffiti on the wall
but i rather would have loved and won and never lost at all
but she was just too good to be true

And she asked me once, "why don't you write me a song?"
but i can't write when things are right, i just write when they're wrong
and now i've sunk in sadness, you know that's why they call me Blue

And O! me corazon, O! my broken heart
i never should have took to driftin' 'cos we drifted apart
she was just too good to be true

But baby if you take me back i swear by the gods
that i would try anything to even up the odds
i would cross any boundary, i'd break every rule
even singin' this song now, i must be such a fool
but baby, i don't care, i would do anything for you
if you only would be true

I wish i knew what to say to change this sorry end
but i'm better makin' lovesick songs than makin' amends
i only hope she understands me, after all that we been thru

And now i've sung my song, now i'll raise up my forty
here's to my little lovely lady, my darlin' cutie shorty
you were too good to be true
