I Hate It When That Happens To Me

Well, I once knew a man who was going insane He let love chase him right up a tree It took the police and a fire truck just to bring him back down Oh, I hate it when that happens to me It made the front page of the paper, the gossip tongues wagged Why they even showed it all on TV Now if he should live forever, he won't live it down Oh, I hate it when that happens to me Dog bites man, man loses girl Oh, what did he ever do wrong in this world? Dog bites man, man loses girl Oh, what have I every done wrong in this world? There once was a big buzz all over town About a movie where the killer goes free Now, he's got everyone's sympathy Oh, I hate it when that happens to me Yes, I hate it when that happens to me Songwriters: John Prine and Donnie Fritts
