Never shoulda married in the first place
Living together was working out fine
Living together meant I had control
Shoulda known I'm not the marrying kind

I've had enough of that In-Law Thing
That In-Law Thing just doesn't work out
I know I'll never get married again
I've had enough of that In-Law Thing

Her daddy's perfect, he can do no wrong
She loved her daddy more than she loved me
Too bad her mother got to daddy first
He's the husband I could never be

I've had enough of that In-Law Thing
That In-Law Thing just doesn't work out
I know I'll never get married again
I've had enough of that In-Law Thing

Her mother has a death grip on her
Drove us apart for the sheer pleasure

I've had enough of that In-Law Thing
That In-Law Thing just doesn't work out
I know I'll never get married again
I've had enough of that In-Law Thing
