SHE'S GOT A WAY WITH WORDS

I have a backlog of topics to get to, so will start with a light-hearted one.  When I get tired of listening to oldies stations or NPR on the radio, I will switch to a country station for a change of pace.  Country is interesting for at least a while - songs are often funny and with many, one can sing along with the chorus by the time the song ends.  I heard this one recently, and it made me laugh.  Forgettable tune but humorous lyrics - I usually put the video first, but since this is about the words, they will be first.   Best line:  "She put a big F.U. in my future"

"She's Got A Way With Words"
Blake Shelton

When you put two and two together
You figure out love's got four letters
I shoulda known that when I met her
But she had to spell it out for me
After all that second guessing
It's been a long hard history lesson
Hell that's a class I got an F in
But now I understand perfectly

She put the her in hurt
She put the why in try
She put the S.O.B. in sober
She put the hang in hangover (hangover)
She put the ex in sex
She put the low in blow
She put a big F.U. in my future
Yeah she's got a way
She's got a way with words
Yeah she's got a way with words

Little words like "I" and "do"
Lying, cheating, screwed
Yeah all the words I thought I knew
They got a brand new meaning now

She put the her in hurt
She put the why in try
She put the S.O.B. in sober
She put the hang in hangover (hangover)
She put the ex in sex
She put the low in blow
She put a big F.U. in my future
Yeah she's got a way
She's got a way with words
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah she's got a way with words
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
