I asked her to marry me, she smiled and pulled out a knife  
“The party’s just beginning,” she said, “Your money or your life?”

The first cut is the deepest

When it come to loving me, she’s worst

And ladies by the score  
All dressed in satin  
And waiting by the door  
Ooh, what a lucky man he was  
Ooh, what a lucky man he was

I must’ve been through about a million girls  
I’d love 'em and I’d leave 'em alone  
I didn’t care how much they cried, no sir  
Their tears left me cold as a stone  
But then I fooled around and fell in love  
I fooled around and fell in love

To all the girls I’ve loved before

Who traveled in and out my door

I’m glad they came along

I dedicate this song

To all the girls I’ve loved before

First girl I loved  
Time has come I will sing the sad goodbye song  
When I was seventeen, I used to know you  
And I haven’t seen you now in so many years  
And the last time I saw you  
You said you joined the Church of Jesus  
But me I remember your long red hair  
Falling in our faces as I kissed you

Someone told me there’s a girl out there  
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

I know I keep you amused  
But I feel I’m being used  
Oh, Maggie, I couldn’t have tried anymore  
You led me away from home  
Just to save you from being alone  
You stole my heart and that’s what really hurts

Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack

I went out for a ride and I never went back

Like a river that don’t know where it’s flowing

I took a wrong turn and I just kept going

Everybody’s got a hungry heart
