oh, oh, why you wanna give me a black eye
E                       B
I'm not the best man in this world, but I know that I'll do
                 A                                        E
oh, oh, why you wanna give me a black eye
E                       B
I'm not the best man in this world, but I know that I'll do
                  A                                       E

coffee at 7 and then I'm at work by 9
E                     B
I always thought the carefree style would be the way I lived my life
                      A                               E
been trippin on 1992 when all you did was smile
E                          B
I guess that that's what was on my mind the day I asked you to be my wife
         A                                         E
continues on in the same way*

now I say oh, oh, why you wanna give me a black eye
I'm not the best man in this world, but I'm the best one for you

I put away one day this week it was just for you and me
there was nothing much to fight about as far as I could see
do you remember when I was 8 and you were 5
I spent a lifetime with you girl and now you sock me in my eye

so I say oh, oh, why you wanna give me a black eye
I'm not the best man in this world, but I'm the best one for you

black eye, the soul brains, human rights

if you asked me I would cross the greatest ocean
with wieghts tied to my toes
I would do that
I would walk over burning coals I would even
jump the grand canyon on a motor bike
I would do that
there's so many things that I would do if you asked me to
but there is this one thing
you shouldn't ask me
don't never never ask me to turn down the Ziggens
I would not do that
so don't ask me
