Marital Carnival
(Jewel Kilcher)

You come home, you look kind of frantic
Too bad cause I feel romantic
I know you're stressed out again
Tonight - I guess - that we're just friends again
You know I'm really not the type to compete
I hope your meetings were filled with lots of good 'meet'
And your appointments have lots of good 'ointments'
To soothe what you I never could satisfy

Cause I don't care like I did a minute ago
I tried to love you but it was just too stressful though
It's like leaving your boots on when you go swimming
And I never will fight for what doesn't want winning

You wake up - I'm doing cartwheels
You're grumpy
Said, "Try some how I feel"
"I'm happy" just wasn't no fun
It's hard enough just waking up next to one
If you were oatmeal - you'd just look for lumps
If you were sweet I'd call you sugarbumps
If you were the sunshine you'd say I was pain
Well I am tired of this capricious game

Cause I don't care like I did a minute ago
I tried to love you but it was just too stressful though
It's like leaving your boots on when you go swimming
And I never will fight for what doesn't want winning

Oh Marital Carnival
Oh Marital Carnival
Oh Marital Carnival
Stop!
I want to get off...

Sweetheart, I'm gonna find myself a ride
One that doesn't bring me down this time
One that isn't always on the run
One that can have good old fashioned fun
Cause sweetheart the purpose of my life is nothing more
Than to simply be adored
Am I just like a special chocolate treat
I ain't no piece of leftover hot dogs

Cause I don't care like I did a minute ago
I tried to love you but it was just too stressful though
It's like leaving your boots on when you go swimming
I never will fight for
No!
I never will fight for
Ruff!
I never will fight for what doesn't want to win
