I took your name in vain    The day we strolled down the aisle   Quittin’ your rowdy ways just made me smile   What a fool I was to think I could make you change    Oh, I guess I took your name in vain      I took your name in vain   When I slipped on that golden band   But you had no intentions of becoming a better man   When you stumble in at 3 AM I can’t bear the strain   Oh, I guess I took your name in vain      I took your name in vain   And that of the Lord, too   For pairing me up with an S.O.B. like you   I think of all the years I let go down the drain   Oh, I took your name in vain      I took your name in vain   The day those papers were signed   While I’m out slaving, you’re sitting on your behind   It’s near the end of the line on this gravy train   Oh, I guess I took your name in vain      I took your name in vain   And that of the Lord, too   For pairing me up with a worthless hound like you   I think of all the years I let go down the drain   Oh, I took your name in vain      I no longer had your name    When we walked out of court   I said “So long, I’ll see you, Sport.”   Finally my heart had trumped my brain   Oh, I guess I took your name in vain   Oh, I guess I took your name in vain
