JOHN PRINE

- In Spite Of Ourselves Lyrics

She don't like her eggs all runny
She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
She looks down her nose at money
She gets it on like the Easter Bunny
She's my baby I'm her honey
I'm never gonna let her go

He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
He's my baby and I'm his honey
Never gonna let him go

In spite of ourselves, we'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds, honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses, right off of our faces
There won't be nothin', but big old hearts, dancin' in our eyes

She thinks all my jokes are corny
Convict movies make her horny
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs
She takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'
I'm never gonna let her go

He's got more balls than a big brass monkey
He's a wacked out weirdo and a love bug junkie
Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
He's my baby I don't mean maybe
Never gonna let him go

In spite of ourselves, we'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds, honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses, right off of our faces
There won't be nothin', but big old hearts, dancin' in our eyes

In spite of ourselves, we'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds, honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses, right off of our faces
There won't be nothin', but big old hearts, dancin' in our eyes
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts, dancin' in our eyes
Inspite of ourselves

When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, the song 'In Spite of Ourselves' by John Prine narrates the life of a strange and imperfect pair who, odd as they might be, love and enjoy life together. The words of the song use comical and exaggerated accounts to present the characters' special traits, thus underlining the fact that true love can be found even in the most unlikely and surprising places. Overall, the somewhat ironic voice of the lyrics is dominant in love, joy, celebration, hope, and affection. At the same time, the quirky kind of love and the defiance of odds are themes the song emphasizes.

this song.. is absolutely precious to my better half and i. we're complete opposites, yet we understand each other nontheless.. this is about togetherness, and unconditional love. love that will never end. love.. that will go on between each other's hearts long after the love is taken to the grave.
