Mostly true, so all names have been omitted. According to the narrator, she's a woman who doesn't understand. Greek Chorus BVs and Brian May in a Fugue State solo by Matt. Matt really likes this one.
lyrics
I’ve Got It Made
She was Red and Blonde and Blue all over, Irish eyes and four-leaf clovers.
An open road and I’m a rover. I thought I had it made, yeah.
A coffee date to take it slow, Italian food and a picture show,
I laughed so hard she had to go. I thought I had it made, yeah.
5’10”and ice-blue eyes, Skinny calves and open thighs,
She dyed her hair and oh my my. I thought I had it made, yeah.
In my mind she could do no wrong, She swore to me her love was strong,
But still I’m standing here alone. I thought I had it made, yeah.
It doesn’t matter how it ends, because somehow it always ends.
Still I try, try, try every night and day and i lie, lie, lie every night and day.
And I don’t know why, But I always think I’ve got it made.
Tiny, dark, and so much fun; is barely legal way too young?
I truly thought she was the one. I thought I had it made, yeah.
I took it serious for a day, and then my thoughts got in the way.
Another red-head made me stray. I thought I had it made, yeah.
It doesn’t matter how it ends, because somehow it always ends.
Still I try, try, try every night and day and i lie, lie, lie every night and day.
And I don’t know why, But I always think I’ve got it made.
I would lay the blame on them,
But I know I can only blame myself.
I’m sure some day I’ll get it right,
I just have to get it right, right, right, right, right.
It doesn’t matter how it ends, because somehow it always ends.
Still I try, try, try every night and day and i lie, lie, lie every night and day.
And I don’t know why, But I always think I’ve got it made.
Still I try, try, try every night and day and i lie, lie, lie every night and day.
And I don’t know why, But I always think I’ve got it made.
