My first car was cherry red, my foot was heavy
And it was hello fence post and goodbye Chevy
Yeah, I got a way of messin' up a good thing

Had a job outa school coulda wrote my own ticket
Mmm, but I was hooked on a good time, I couldn't kick it
Yeah, I got a way of messin' up a good thing

Now I wake up every morning to an angel's face
Hear the devil on my shoulder, saying "You're my next mistake"
And it scares me that I love you, babe, as much as I do
Knowin' I could wreck this any day
'Cause I got a way of messin' up a good thing

Don't wanna be the one to crack your smile
Don't wanna dim that sparkle in your eye
I'm just letting you know it's a chance you're taking
Mmm, if it can be broke, I could break it
'Cause I got a way, yeah, of messin' up a good thing

Now I wake up every morning to an angel's face
Hear the devil on my shoulder, saying "You're my next mistake"
And it scares me that I love you, babe, as much as I do
Knowin' I could wreck this any day
Yeah, 'cause I got a way of messin' up a good thing

Now I wake up every morning to an angel's face
Hear the devil on my shoulder, saying "You're my next mistake"
And it scares me that I love you, babe, as much as I do
Knowin' I could wreck this any day
Oh, 'cause I got a way of messin' up a good thing
Know that I got a way of messin' up a good thing

I'm doing all I know to do
Not to break that beautiful heart in two
