Lyrics

There was a man, to be precise, livin' Velveeta loca-like
Smokin' and drinkin', cholesterol offa the chart
And to be true, I was the man…
I needed some nice girl to hold my hand-
I wanna thank you baby for the betterment of my heart.

I wasn't calm, I was alone
I ate a lot of fries and ice cream cones
Hidin' my sorrow, drivin' around in my car
You came along, to be my wife,
You gave me love and fish to save my life
I wanna thank you baby for the betterment of my heart

The doctor said to call him right away
You got a test to take
I think I'd rather be the last to know
The chances that my heart will break

Solo

The doctor said to call him right away
We got the testing back
I think I'd rather be the last to know
The chances of a heart attack

I called him back, he says I'm fine
"You got the LDL right back in line
I wanna know, son, what your secrets are!"…
I'm good to her, she's good to me
And that's the way love is supposed to be
I wanna thank you baby for the betterment of my heart
I wanna thank you baby for the betterment of my heart
