i finally met her parents on a saturday night
they gave me the eye wouldn't let me out of there sight
they didn't like the looks of me right away
they told me to go so i decided to stay
my eyes were brown and my hair was blue
of course they had a problem with my tattoos
i can't please everybody all the time
so right now all i wanna do is make you mine
your my sweet sweet thing
your my sweet sweet thing
your my sweet sweet thing
on top of everything
her dad asked what i did i said i played in band
he said he hated devil music and he wasn't a fan
musicians can't be trusted and your job is a joke
i don't want my daughter spending her life broke
well after that i didn't really know what to say
so i said i think i'll date your daughter anyway
i can't please everybody all the time
so right now all i wanna do is make you mine
your my sweet sweet thing
your my sweet sweet thing
your my sweet sweet thing
on top of everything
so now i think it's time to make my way to the door
but be sure tomorrow night i'll be back for more
i can't please everybody all the time
so right now all i wanna do is make you mine
your dad can't stand me and your moms in shock
your brother wants to kill me and your sister won't talk
i got the whole dinner table talking about my hair
but i don't really care, it's just a family affair
your my sweet sweet thing
your my sweet sweet thing
your my sweet sweet thing
on top of everything
your my sweet sweet thing
your my sweet sweet thing
your my sweet sweet thing
on top of everything
