Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm I watched her walk down A white church isle wearing white Crying forever tears for another man Does he know that her snow-colored gown is a lie 'Cause it was stained again and again In the back of my chevy Fogged glass, hot and heavy We committed some deadly sins Made a promise to me in front of God, then she left me Now she's swearing them same vows to him Guess I'm the old love And he's the new Her brooch is borrowed Guess I'm the blue I just can't seem to So how can she Be happy ever after me? Oh good lord Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm I wanna tell that pastor I object to her laughter 'Cause I'm sad as sad can be How can she smile when my heart is all shattered I wanna stand up at the alter and scream Guess I'm the old love And he's the new Her brooch is borrowed Guess I'm the blue I just can't seem to So how can she Be happy ever after me? Lord if you ever gave a damn about me Please take me to your promise land Maybe I'll get over her when I Get over Jordan's River 'Cause down here I'm tortured man Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm 'Cause I'm the old love And he's the new Her brooch is borrowed Guess I'm the blue I just can't seem to So how can she Be happy ever after me? Happy ever after me (how can she) Be happy ever after me (how can she) Be happy ever after me (how can she) Be happy ever after me
