The Headache Song

When Amy and I were dating, I would write a lot of poems and songs. I guess it was kind of an outlet for me. She would halfway joke and tell me I needed to write her a song.

This song is what I came up with. Obviously, I was trying to be funny. But looking back, there’s more truth to this song than originally intended. Wait… that didn’t come out right. She doesn’t really make my head hurt. I tell people all the time that I got the better end of the deal in our relationship.

When we were dating, we were both head over heals believing the other to be perfect. We’re not. When we got married we quickly figured out how not perfect we are. That’s usually the way marriage works.

We have a great relationship and a strong marriage. Not because we always agreed and everything was perfect. It wasn’t. We have a great relationship because we’ve gone through some not-so-perfect times. We’ve both given each other some headaches. (Usually I’m the one making her head hurt). But we still love each other through it all.

A love that endures some headaches is stronger than a love with no headaches right?

The Headache Song

Will Campbell

The first time that we met

I knew that we belonged together

You were the one for me

Our love would last forever

So darling don’t misunderstand

What I’m about to say

Even though you’re perfect

In almost everyway

Honey, sometimes

You make my head hurt

Honey, sometimes

I just have to walk away

You know I love you

And I know you’re more than I deserve, BUT

Honey, sometimes

You make my head hurt

Sometimes I think she’s proud of me

Sometimes it’s hard to tell

Sometimes she gives me lovin’

Sometimes she gives me hell

She’s the woman of my dreams

I couldn’t go through life without her

But I also couldn’t go through life

Without Goody’s Headache Powders

Honey, sometimes

You make my head hurt

Honey, sometimes

I just have to walk away

You know I love you

And I know you’re more than I deserve, BUT

Honey, sometimes

You make my head hurt
