The Fine Print

I remember that first night out with her
Like taking a new toy out of the plastic
She seemed more movie star than saboteur
The jaw dropping looks on my friends' faces were classic
Should've taken the time to read label
Contents may become unstable
Yeah there's always a catch
Something too good to be true
Always ends up a mess
When the bill comes due
Sometimes all you need to do is squint
When you're looking for the fine print

That night I guess I got a little too drunk
She put me in the car and drove me downtown
She seemed like she was going to be so much fun
The judge laughed and called me the luckiest boy around
I should've looked a little closer at that paper
Thought I'd figure out all the details later
Yeah there's always a catch
Something too good to be true
Always ends up a mess
When the bill comes due
If you don't understand what the man meant
Have your lawyer read the fine print

Well I woke up the next morning a different guy
Asking why oh why
She kept repeating terms and conditions may apply
Why oh why
It was clear that this would be a painful lesson
My oh my
When she said side effects may include
Headache, nausea, and new or worsening depression

Now I'm trying to put her back in the wrapper
She's running around my house like she owns the place
Uh, technically she does
She won't take no for an answer
After a month I've had enough and I'm still standing on first base
I really should've read the fine print on that sign
View from this mountain isn't worth the climb
Yeah there's always a catch
Something too good to be true
Always ends up a mess
When the fun's all through
Heed my advice, life is a marathon, not a sprint
Take the time to read the fine print
Take the time to read the fine print
Take the time to read the fine print
Take the time to read the first print
