Nathan, then why can't we elope right now
Because, well, I gotta go to a prayer meeting
Nathan, this is the biggest lie you ever told me
But I promise you, it's true

You promise me this, you promise me that
You promise me anything under the sun
Then you give me a kiss and your grabbing your hat
And your off to the races again

When I think of the time gone by
Adelaide, Adelaide
And I think of the way I tried
Adelaide
I could honestly die

Call a lawyer and sue me, sue me
What can you do me, I love you
Give a holler and hate me, hate me
Go ahead, hate me, I love you
The best years of my life
I was a fool to give to you

Alright, already, I'm just a no-good nick
Alright, already, it's true, so new
So sue me, sue me, what can you do me? I love you

You gamble it here, you gamble it there
You gamble on everything, all except me
And I'm sick of you keeping me up in the air
Till your back in the money again

When I think of the time gone by
Adelaide, Adelaide
And I think of the way I tried
Adelaide
I could honestly die

Serve a paper and sue me, sue me
What can you do me, I love you
I hate you, ah
Give a holler and hate me, hate me
Go ahead, hate me, I love you
When you wind up in jail
Don't come to me to bail you out

Alright, already, so call a policeman
Alright, already, it's true, so new
So sue me, sue me, what can you do me? I love you

You're at it again, you're running the game
I'm not gonna play second fiddle to that
And I'm sick and tired of strolling around
And I'm telling you now that we're through

When I think of the time gone by
Adelaide, Adelaide
And I think of the way I tried
Adelaide
I could honestly die

Sue me, sue me
Shoot bullets through me, I love you
