(Chorus) Oh the ways of the world,
and the wants of a woman If I figured them all out 'twould take many years I once had a sweetheart,
the fairest of maidens She outshined all others that I'd known by far I had a friend,
a big fella,
named big Harlan Taylor Harlan had a rubber-tired,
new shiny car (Repeat chorus) By the wants of a woman she fell for big Harlan I tried,
but in vain,
for to take my own life Suddenly I had lost all my will to keep livin' She lost her desire to become my young wife (Repeat chorus) I wanted revenge and waylaid for big Harlan Then I started wondrin' what good would it do If a rubber-tired,
new shiny car's her ambition Then she can just have it and big Harlan,
too (Repeat chorus) If I figured them all out it would take many years
