Sue Me
[ADELAIDE, spoken]
Nathan, why can't we elope now?

[NATHAN, spoken]
Because—well
I gotta go to a prayer meetin'

[ADELAIDE, spoken]
Nathan, this is the biggest lie you ever told me

[NATHAN, spoken]
But I promise you it's true

[ADELAIDE]
You promise me this
You promise me that
You promise me anything under the sun
And you give me a kiss
And you're grabbing your hat
And you're off to the races again

[ADELAIDE & NATHAN]
When I think of the time gone by (Adelaide, Adelaide)
When I think of the way I try (Adelaide)

[ADELAIDE]
I could honestly die
[NATHAN]
Call a lawyer and sue me, sue me
What can you do me?
I love you
Give a holler and hate me, hate me
Go ahead, hate me

[NATHAN & ADELAIDE]
I love you (The best years of my life)
I was a fool to give to you (Alright already)

[NATHAN]
I'm just a no-goodnik
Alright already, it's true
So nu?

So sue me, sue me
What can you do me?

[NATHAN & ADELAIDE]
I love you (You gamble it here)

[ADELAIDE]
You gamble it there
You gamble on everything, all except me
And I'm sick of you keeping me up in the air
'Til you're back in the money again
[ADELAIDE & NATHAN]
When I think of the time gone by (Adelaide, Adelaide!)
When I think of the way I try (Adelaide!)

[ADELAIDE]
I could honestly die

[NATHAN]
Serve a paper and sue me, sue me
What can you do me?
I love you

[ADELAIDE, spoken]
Achoo!

[NATHAN]
Give a holler and hate me, hate me
Go ahead, hate me

[NATHAN & ADELAIDE]
I love you (When you wind up in jail)
Don't come to me to bail you out (Alright already)

[NATHAN]
So call a policeman
Alright already, it's true
So nu?
So sue me, sue me
What can you do me?

[NATHAN & ADELAIDE]
I love you (You're at it again)

[ADELAIDE]
You're running the game
I'm not gonna play second fiddle to that
And I'm sick and I'm tired of stalling around
And I'm telling you now that we're through

[ADELAIDE & NATHAN]
When I think of the time gone by (Adelaide, Adelaide!)
When I think of the way I try (Adelaide!)

[ADELAIDE]
I could honestly die

[NATHAN]
Sue me, sue me
Shoot bullets through me
I love you

[The scene changes to the Mission.]

[BIG JULE, spoken]
Get up, you fat water buffalo

[NICELY, spoken]
Well, it happened to me kind of, uh, funny, like a dream
That's it, a dream

[GENERAL, spoken]
