Country Songs
[Verse 1]
Ophelia sweetheart, come sit down, there are important things I have to say
I know you love him honey, but you can't let him treat you this way
When a man calls you a whore go on and find the closest door and walk out
Go home, maybe take a cold shower, but baby don't let him make you crazy

[Chorus]
Well I heard you singin' bawdy songs, you're howlin' at the moon
Don't even think of goin' swimmin' 'til you've leveled out your moods
You might have a hard time until you find someone new
But you're a clever girl, I know that there's a better man for you

[Verse 2]
I know that you decided you're in love, I can see it in your eyes
And logical thinking and reason can fall by the wayside
So pay attention, hey I wouldn't lead you astray
This won't end well if you keep movin' this way, and baby don't let him make you crazy

[Chorus]
Well I heard you singin' bawdy songs, you're howlin' at the moon
Don't even think of goin' swimmin' 'til you've leveled out your moods
You might have a hard time until you find someone new
But you're a clever girl, I know that there's a better man for you

[Bridge]
So take a deep breath, Ophelia, take a deep breath
You know it isn't that bad, no it isn't that bad
Go on and take a deep breath, Ophelia, take a deep breath
You know it isn't that bad, it isn't that bad

[Verse 3]
Ophelia sweetheart, come sit down, there are important things I have to say
I know you love him honey, but you can't let him treat you this way
I don't know if it's to be or not - it hasn't happened yet
But honey, didn't you read Romeo and Juliet?
When things start gettin' messy you better keep a level head
And baby, don't let him make you crazy
