Well i met him in the navy

He was the head of the class

She was a cute little thing

He liked the way she shook her glass

And they went off to texas

And they bought some land yeah

And they settled in a hobo

Home by a taco stand

He was doin' things he didn't understand

There was no way to exlain it

She was god's gift to man



Well he got a promotion

And he bought himself a color tv

Had the cable put in

And they watched a round of jeopardy

And they sat out in the evening

And they watched the sun go down

And everything they did

They were livin' on the outside of town

Well the time went by

That he didn't understand

She was god's gift to man



Yeah baby tell me, tell me real good

Don't you know that we're livin' just like a young boy should?



Well she went off to houston

Where she was livin' in sin

Well he built an office building

But nobody moved in

She wound up in el paso

On the streets again

It was hard to take it

But sometimes you just can't win

It was after a little way

That he didn't understand

And couldn't understand that

She was god's gift to man



Well i seen her on tv just a couple of nights ago

She was a doin' a commercial

Smilin' with some ivory soap

Well i knew inside her heart was black as coal

There ain't no way to replace the amount of lovin' that little girl stole

Yeah one day she got it comin'

And she won't understand her niche

She's god's gift to man



Yeah i've been doin' things that i don't understand

Yeah she's god's gift to man

Yeah, yeah ,yeah

Alright, alright, alright
