Abbey, I'm Sorry I Stole Your Man

about

Sweaty Lamarr's sequel to Jolene.

lyrics

He said you were crazy
Didn’t realize that the mania was his own making
Smoke and mirrors he can’t pass without a glance
Abbey, I’m sorry I stole your man

We said you were obsessed
When we saw you loping after clues you could get
Our happiness was ours and leave us be
It didn’t work with you but it worked with me
Now I understand
Abbey, I’m sorry I stole your man

(Ohhhh oh ohh oh)
Courted by a crooked hand
(OH oh, ohhh oh)
Abbey, I’m sorry I stole your man

He said you called him a hothead
Kept it close to the vest except in bed
Then the lava rained and I’m
Singed red with his brand
Abbey, I’m sorry I stole your man

Temperatures would run high
White hot passion, over time quite belied
By the purple skies of dawn when he’d come home
And the turquoise vials of his cheap cologne
Twisted ankle on his oil slick of the damned
Abbey, I’m sorry I stole your man

(Ohhhh oh ohh oh)
Dazzled by a calloused hand
(OH oh, ohh oh)
Abbey, I’m sorry I stole your man

Took no pleasure getting mine behind your back
Took no pleasure in the slither of our attack
It’s no excuse but I learned it from the movies
Love at any cost was the way it should be
Carved the fault lines of my life with my own hand
Abbey, I’m sorry I stole your man

(Oh oh ohh oh)
Wisened by a powdered hand
(OH oh ohhh oh)
Abbey, I’m sorry I stole your man

And now he’s ensnared someone else
Rolled out the hot coal carpet to hell
If you didn’t hate me so much
I’d say we slash the tires on his van
Abbey, I’m sorry I stole your man

(Ohhhh oh ohh oh)
Courted by a crooked hand
(OH oh, ohhh oh)
Abbey, I’m sorry I stole your man

Ohhh oh OH oh, spun me in a practiced dance
Ohhh oh OHH oh, pillaged for the upper hand
Ohhh oh OH oh, spun me in a practiced dance
Ohhh oh OHH oh, pillaged for the upper hand….
