From the recording Male Uptempo
Lyrics
VERSE
I thought things were rockin' along pretty well
But then her attitude, oh, yeah, got in the way
So I'm no longer under her spell
I'm just survivin,' man, day to day
VERSE
Well, I told her that I wanted a divorce
She said: “Okay, but not before you pay up.
The Aruba vaycay has to stay, of course.”
I thought, wow, what a cheap imitation of love
PRE-CHORUS
But if that’s what it takes, let’s get 'er done
First CHORUS
A divorce honeymoon; it sounds like hell to me
I do not want to go, but I do want to be free
I’ll get us there, but then I’ll be leavin’ soon
Fleeing in the night from our divorce honeymoon
SOLO/VERSE
Aruba’s nice, but I can’t say that about her
Haven’t even unpacked; she’s already at the bar
There’s no way to get back to how we were
I’ll soon be leavin' here 'cause that's just how things are
PRE-CHORUS
I sneaked a peek into the bar; looks like she’s already hookin’ up
Second CHORUS
A divorce honeymoon; it sounds like hell to me
I did not want to go, but I do want to be free
I got us here, but I’ll be leavin’ soon
Fleeing in the night from our divorce honeymoon
SOLO/Third CHORUS
A divorce honeymoon; it sounds like hell to me
I did not want to go, but I do want to be free
I got us here, but I’ll be leavin' soon
Fleeing in the night from our divorce honeymoon
TAG
Now thank God and airplanes, oh, I’m gone
