Glen Campbell Every Time I Itch I Wind Up Scratchin` You Lyrics

Every Time I Itch I Wind Up Scratchin` You Lyrics

You know my love, my only wish

Is happiness for you

So I work real hard to strike it rich

But every time I do



I blow it all on some old witch

I hardly ever knew

How come every time I itch

I wind up scratchin' you?



When every thing's ain't goin' right

I hurry home to you

You kiss my lips and you comfort me

As only you can do



But the eagle flies on Friday night

And my senses fly off too

How come every time I itch

I wind up scratchin' you?



I dream of comin' home to you

A knight in shinin' armor

'Cause it seems to me that you rate much more

Than a broken down busted farmer



Every time I get ahead

I act like someone new

I waste the whole night talkin' big

And spendin' money too



Then I sneak in bed beside you

Broke and blue

How come every time I itch

I wind up scratchin' you?
