🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Oh, my, my
  • Oh, my, my love
  • I take one look at you
  • You're takin' me out of the ordinary

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Oh, my, my
  • You're takin' me out of the ordinary
  • I want you layin' me down 'til we're dead and buried
  • On the edge of your knife, stayin' drunk on your vine
