John Joseph Ray - A Rock and A Mule

When I first met her – I was drawn to her eyes
And a smile that could melt me if I let it
Then I watched how she carried on with her head held so high
She could dish it out to anyone – well, I knew I better forget it

So, I tried to mind my own business – but I looked over now and then
I tried to keep preoccupied – yet I’d smile when she walked by
Didn’t know what I was in for – wasn’t sure if I’d found a friend
She took my independence – didn’t know if I should laugh or cry

Cause she’s as stubborn as a rock – And I as stubborn as a mule
Now, how can a rock and a mule fall in love
Oh yeah, how can a rock and a mule fall in love

Now, my friends they can tell you I’ve got opinions all the time
If you’d disagree with me – well, I could argue with you all night
Now, I’ve met a woman who makes me seem so quiet
And no matter what I ask her to do – you know, she just – she just won’t buy it

If I say “let’s take a walk”, she says “no, I wanna stay”
If I ask her “let’s sit down and talk”, she says “no, I just wanna play”
If I tell her that I’m busy, she wants me to entertain
If I say “come on, let’s have some fun”, she says her head – is full of pain

She’s as stubborn as a rock – And I as stubborn as a mule
Now, how can a rock and a mule fall in love
Oh yeah, how can a rock and a mule fall in love
She’s as stubborn as a rock – And I as stubborn as a mule
Now, how can a rock and a mule fall in love
Oh yeah, how can a rock and a mule fall in love
I wanna know - how can a rock and a mule – fall in love
