I Hate It When That Happens To Me - John Prine

Well, I once knew a man who was going insane

He let love chase him right up a tree

It took the police and a fire truck just to bring him back down

Oh, I hate it when that happens to me

It made the front page of the paper, the gossip tongues wagged

Why they even showed it all on TV

Now if he should live forever, he won’t live it down

Oh, I hate it when that happens to me

Dog bites man, man loses girl

Oh, what did he ever do wrong in this world?

Dog bites man, man loses girl

Oh, what have I every done wrong in this world?

There once was a big buzz all over town

About a movie where the killer goes free

Now, he’s got everyone’s sympathy

Oh, I hate it when that happens to me

Yes, I hate it when that happens to me
