You're the reason I'm a-ridin' around on recapped tires
And you're the reason I'm hangin' our clothes outside on wires

And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
Ah, but looks ain't ev'rythin'
and money ain't ev'rythin'
But I love you just the same

You're the reason I've changed to beer from soda pop
And you're the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop

You're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
Ah, but looks ain't ev'rythin'
and money ain't ev'rythin'
But I love you just the same

I guess that we can't ever have
Everything we need
Cause when we get "ahead"
It's got another mouth to feed

You're the reason I can't get played on mtv
You would still be in The Pipettes whithout me

You're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
Ah, but looks ain't ev'rythin'
and money ain't ev'rythin'
But I love you just the same
