It's a fine mess (it's a fine mess)
I got myself into (what have you got yourself into?)
I'm in a spin (he's in a spin)
With nowhere to spin to (where's he gonna spin to?)

But I know I should think before I open my mouth
(Yeah, you should think before you talk)
And I know that some things shouldn't be said out loud
(So why'd you go and say it?)

I guess this argument's not the place for a joke about divorce (woah)
My intentions were just a playful thing to make you laugh, of course (woah)
I'm neither use nor ornament, I must wait, my affections you ignore (woah)
I guess this argument's not the place for a joke about divorce

My phone calls (her phone's still ringing now)
You curse (Tom, what the fuck?)
I said, I'll write you some verse (write you some verse)
You said, boy, you've some nerve (you've got some nerve)

But I won't include verbiage I'm not sure about
(So, who'd you think you are?)
Or use a refrain just to stretch the strain out
(So why'd you go and say it?)

I guess this argument's not the place for a joke about divorce (woah)
My intentions were just a playful thing to make you laugh, of course (woah)
I'm neither use nor ornament, I must wait, my affections you ignore (woah)
I guess this argument's not the place for a joke about divorce

For a grown man, I should know better
Now I'm staring out the front room window
Haven't spoke for hours, yeah, I regret it
And while I find the words, suppose I'll just say

I guess this argument's not the place for a joke about divorce (woah)
My intentions were just a playful thing to make you laugh, of course (woah)
I'm neither use nor ornament, I must wait, my affections you ignore (woah)
I guess this argument's not the place for a joke about divorce

Don't joke about it (joke about it)
Don't joke about it, no, no, I said, no, no
Don't joke about it (joke about it)
No, no, no, no, don't joke about it (joke about it)
No, no, no, no, don't joke about it (joke about it)
No, no, no, no, don't joke about it (joke about it)
No, no, no, no, don't joke about it (joke about it)
No, no, no, no, don't joke about it (joke about it)
No, no, no, no, don't joke about it (joke about it)
