"Honky-Tonk and Grand Opera are similar in that both celebrate tragedy. And nothing's more tragic than someone who doesn't know he's being tragic. And this is a song about a believer."
She's as long as a Monday
She's thin as a dime
She's been drinking since Sunday
But that ain't a crime
When you're missing somebody
Who should've never been gone
She's been drinking since Sunday
And Sunday's the one day
She hates drinking alone

I've always loved her
When she's around I can't breathe
She laughed when I told her
Said 'You don't want me
I've got a penchant for trouble
And I always want more
And I don't love nobody
'Til I see that body
Walk out the door'

She said 'I like it rough
But even rough ain't enough
Sometimes, I like it mean'
She said 'I like men when they're hot
And I like 'em when they're cold
But I don't want nothing
That falls in-between'

But I've heard her crying
In the dark of the night
So I know she's lying
But I would trade being right
To be the hard man
Who holds her
And gets to look in her eyes
And I wish it was me
Who could love her and leave
Without saying goodbye

I'll always love her
But I won't interfere
And when she needs me
I will always be here
But I won't abuse her
And I will never be mean
For now she likes it rough
But when she's had enough
I'll be Mr. InBetween
Yeah, for now she likes it rough
But when she's had enough
Hello...I'm Mr. InBetween
