EAT MY WORDS
(Marti Brom)
MARTI BROM (GOOFIN' RECORDS, 1999)

Well, they say it was written in the stars above
Crazy little thing that I call love
I told Mary, I told Jane
My life would never ever be the same
When I said he was the love of my life
Well, give me a fork, give me a knif
I'm gonna eat my words
Yes, sit me down, fill me up a platter
Great big platter of that love chitter-chatter
And if I need a drink on the side
I take a little swallow of my pride

I said there was no other love for me
I said my single life was a history
I told Becky, I told Sue
No other man would ever do
I said I'd settle down and become his wife
But give me a fork, give me a knife
I'm gonna eat my words
Yes, sit me down, fill me up a platter
Great big platter of that love chitter-chatter
And if I need a drink on the side
I take a little swallow of my pride

I said there was no other love for me
I said my single life was a history
I told Becky, I told Sue
No other man would ever do
But when he left me with no man and worry and strive
So give me a fork, give me a knife
I'm gonna eat my words
Yes, sit me down, fill me up a platter
A great big platter of that love chitter-chatter
And if I need a drink on the side
I take a little swallow of my pride
I'm gonna eat my words
I'm gonna eat my words
I'm gonna eat my words
