[Verse 1]
Well I told all my friends
I got lucky
That I'd finally met love of my life
I shouted aloud
How I was so proud
But also to taunt my ex-wife
[Verse 2]
Well I thought that I'd backed me a winner
The money was counted and stacked
But I found her in bed
With Jack and then Fred
She was a favourite
That everyone backed
[Chorus]
I put the ring on her finger
Like I’d backed me a cert
As I put the ‘I’ into naive
And she put the ‘H’ into hurt
Love lifted me so high
Pushed me down in the dirt
When I put the ‘I’ into naive
And she put the 'H' into hurt
[Verse 3]
Well I pulled to one side
My dear children
And I showed them her face
On the phone
"Daddy", they said
"Go get yourself wed
Or you're spending your lifetime alone"
[Verse 4]
Well I spent a year wining and dining
Now I’ll have to go back
And I’ll say
Love comes and goes
Then it dies like a rose
And you have to go throw it away
[Chorus]
I put the ring on her finger
Like I'd backed me a cert
As I put the 'I' into naive
And she put the 'H' into hurt
Love lifted me so high
Pushed me down in the dirt
When I put the 'I' into naive
And she put the 'H' into hurt
[Verse 5]
He put the ‘G’ into gullible
And also the ‘G’ into green
The ‘S’ into shame
The ‘D’ into dumb
The ‘F’ into fool that I’ve been
The ‘F’ into fool that I’ve been
[Chorus]
I put the ring on her finger
Like I'd backed me a cert
As I put the 'I' into naive
And she put the 'H' into hurt
Love lifted me so high
Pushed me down in the dirt
When I put the 'I' into naive
And she put the 'H' into hurt
