Story behind the song
The thought can to me when I remembered a story a co-worker told me how his new bride turned out even though he had been warned.
Lyrics
I Was in Love (c) 2026 Douglas Murphy I was happy as a baby Thought we fit just like a glove She was heaven-sent and shining Fell from somewhere up above Like rain rollin’ on tin roofing She could rock me fast asleep But like cold steel to the ribcage She cut me deep. Everybody tried to tell me Her mama said Her daddy said Her best friend tried to warn me But I didn’t listen I was in love Her dog growled low Her tabby hissed Even that old bird warned me I didn’t listen I was in love We were buzzin’ like a beehive Then a whisper in the wind Like a wolf outside the henhouse She let the wild back in Like a cold, hard icepick twistin’ Like frostbite in your toes I was blinded by the glitter Last to know. All the signs were right in front of me Her mama said Her daddy said Her best friend tried to warn me But I didn’t listen I was in love Her dog growled low Her tabby hissed Even that old bird warned me I didn’t listen I was in love She was sugar with a switchblade Lipstick on a lie Tin-foil halo shinin’ Devil in her eyes She could kiss like Sunday mornin’ Rob you blind by noon Left me slow-dancin’ with the wreckage Howlin’ at the moon Her mama said Her daddy said Her best friend tried to warn me But I didn’t listen I was in loooove Her dog growled low Her tabby hissed Even that old bird warned me I didn’t listen I was in love Should’ve listened But I was in love
