Lyrics
Met her at a bar on a Friday night
Laughed at all my jokes, said I was alright
Six months in, she was meeting my mother
Thought I'd finally found myself a keeper, brother
Put a ring on it by the following spring
She said yes before I got down on one knee
Wedding bells were ringing, champagne was flowing
Had no idea which way the wind was blowing
From the first date to the wedding day
Everything seemed to go my way
All the red flags I chose to ignore
She loved my wallet a little bit more
She was a good girlfriend, a great fiancée
And the worst wife, you ever seen in your life
She wanted a mansion and a quarter mil car
Designer bags and caviar
Goes on shopping sprees and permanent vacation
Now we're headed for a separation
So I'm sitting here with my lawyer friend
Trying to figure out the best way to make it end
Even the bedroom fireworks couldn't save the day
When the credit cards maxed out, she just walked away
From the first date to the wedding day
Everything seemed to go my way
Should've known when she asked how much I make
And the 3,000 dollar wedding cake
She was a good girlfriend, a great fiancée
And the worst wife, you ever seen in your life
I work hard for my money, appreciate the small things in life
She was always chasing paper, guess that's why she's my ex-wife
She got the house, the dog, and my brand new car
All I got was this song and a great big scar - on my heart
Okay.. and maybe on my ego too
From the first date to the wedding day
Everything seemed to go my way
All the red flags I chose to ignore
Like the strange guys runnin out the back door
She was a good girlfriend, a great fiancée
And the worst wife, yeah the worst wife
You ever seen in your life
From the first date, from the first date
