You know my love, my only wish   Is happiness for you   So I work real hard to strike it rich   But every time I do      I blow it all on some old witch   I hardly ever knew   How come every time I itch   I wind up scratchin' you?      When every thing's ain't goin' right   I hurry home to you   You kiss my lips and you comfort me   As only you can do      But the eagle flies on Friday night   And my senses fly off too   How come every time I itch   I wind up scratchin' you?      I dream of comin' home to you   A knight in shinin' armor   'Cause it seems to me that you rate much more   Than a broken down busted farmer      Every time I get ahead   I act like someone new   I waste the whole night talkin' big   And spendin' money too      Then I sneak in bed beside you   Broke and blue   How come every time I itch   I wind up scratchin' you?
