1. I Ain't Never Gone To Bed With an Ugly Woman, But I've Sure Woke Up With A Few

[JDoors]

Some of those are totally believeable!

One of my favorites by Willie Nelson, takes a dark turn near the end that changes the expected meaning of the title:

I Just Can't Let You Say Goodbye

I had not planned on seeing you.

I was afraid of what I'd do,

But pride is strong and here am I,

and I just can't let you say goodbye.

Please have no fear you're in no harm

as long as you're here in my arms,

But you can't leave so please don't try,

I just can't let you say goodbye.

What force behind your evil mind

can let your lips speak so unkind

To one who loves as much as I.

I just can't let you say goodbye.

The flesh around your throat is pale

indented by my fingernails,

Please don't scream, please don't cry,

I just can't let you say goodbye.

Your voice is still it speaks no more.

You'll never hurt me anymore,

Death is a friend to love and I,

'cause now you'll never say goodbye.
