Bait and Switch

by K L Dennis

/

about

Based on a true story that I was told. Names have been changed to protect the innocent...and the guilty. A man looks back on a disastrous marriage. Fast-paced.

lyrics

Switch © 2015/18 KL Dennis

I must’ve been totally crazy, or what was I thinking?
I fell for your flattery hook line and sinker
You told me that you loved me you prayed just like a Christian
But about the time I lost my good job we fell right out of heaven

We made a hard landing on the frozen Minnesota earth
It dawned on me like an ugly dream, what your love was worth
Only as much as you could collect
Exactly the value of my last paycheck

Good and evil are different things
I used to know how to tell
But I went to bed in a five star
And woke up in a cheap motel
A cheap motel
I couldn’t tell
You’re a cheap motel

You called me a loser, and you said I was a cheater
You told the whole congregation that I sometimes beat you
You said “I do” on that day you took my name
Now I’m wise but then I could not see past your cheatin’ game

Bridge:
Love is patient, love is kind, it is not proud and does not quit
So I don’t mean to be rude but it seems to me you played me
With a bait and switch
Bait and switch
Bait and switch

So why’d you want to marry me darling? Was I your first class ride?
I must’ve been desperate for love or blinded by my pride
I know I was not perfect and it always takes two to fail
But looking back I don’t believe my crimes deserved your jail

Good and evil are different things
I used to know how to tell
But I went to bed with an angel
And woke up with you in Hell
You in Hell
In a cheap motel
And I could not tell
You were living Hell

I'm a rebel against the way things are going. I'm a Christian who didn't vote the same way as many of my brothers and sisters. I write songs about things that matter to a man who wakes up in an increasingly strange world, and then turns that into songs. I started with five chords and the truth; now I have a few more chords. Still going for truth. ... more
