In Spite Of Ourselves Lyrics - Iris Dement

John: 

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 

Iris: 

He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays 

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, I'm his honey 

I'm never gonna let him go 

Chorus: 

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 ol' hearts dancin' in our eyes 

John: 

She thinks all my jokes are corny 

Convict movies make her horny 

She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs 

Swears like a sailor when she shaves her legs 

She takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin' 

I'm never gonna let her go 

Iris: 

He's got more balls than a big brass monkey 

A whacked-out weirdo and a love bugged junkie 

Sly as a fox crazy as a loon 

Payday comes and he's a-howlin' at the moon 

He's my baby, I don't mean maybe 

I'm never gonna let him go 

(Chorus) 

In spite of ourselves
