It Takes One to Know One

The lighter side of marital misery.
I’ve got a girl that’s as mean as can be
She makes me nervous when she looks at me
Head like a brick, heart like a stone
Evil and wicked right down to the bone
Disposition straight from hell
Honey you know me all too well
Chorus...
It takes one to know one, oh
It takes one to know one, oh
It takes one to know one, oh yeah…
My old lady is meaner than Moe
She poked out my eye and she stamped on my toe
She picked up a hammer and swung at my head
“Remind me to kill you later,” she said
Only way I stay alive
Dodge and parry, duck and dive
Chorus...
My little honey is vicious and vile
She has a mean streak as wide as the Nile
She’s looking around for something to throw
And I see her eyes beginning to glow
Only one thing I can do
Go away and stay there too
Chorus...
It takes one to know one
