Outside of That

Lyrics

I've got the meanest man in the land
 But his love is best, thick and grand
 His kiss just lingers on my lips
 And thrill me to my fingertips
 People say I'm a fool
 He's heartless and also cruel
 But outside of that, he's all right with me
 ♪
 Outside of that, he's sweet as he can be
 ♪
 I love him as true as stars above
 He beats me up but how he can love
 I never loved like that since the day I was born
 ♪
 I said for fun, I don't want you no more
 
 And when I said that, I made sweet papa sore
 He blacked my eye, I couldn't see
 Then he pawned the things he gave to me
 But outside of that, he's all right with me
 ♪
 I said for fun, I don't want you no more
 ♪
 And when I said that, I made sweet papa sore
 ♪
 When he pawned my things, I said, "You're a dirty old thief"
 Now, then he turned around and knocked out both of my teeth
 Outside of that, he's all right with me
