How Do You Like Me Now?



"How Do You Like Me Now?" by Toby Keith

I was always the crazy one 
Matthew 12:24 “This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of devils.” 
Mosiah 13:1 “…Away with this fellow, and slay him; for what have we to do with him, for he is mad.”
John 6:52, 66 “…How can this man give us his flesh to eat?  From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.”]
 
I broke into the stadium
And I wrote your number on the 50 yard line
John 8:6 “…But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.”
 
You were always the perfect one
And the valedictorian so
Matthew 16:6 “Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.” 
Luke 11:43 “Woe unto you, Pharisees! For ye love the uppermost seats in the synogogues, and greetings in the markets.” 
Jacob 7:4 “And he was learned, that he had a perfect knowledge of the language of the people; wherefore, he could use much flattery, and much power of speech, according to the power of the devil.” 
2 Nephi 9:29 “But to be learned is good if they hearken unto the counsels of God.”  

Under your number I wrote "call for a good time"
Acts 8:32 "...He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:  In his humiliation his judgment was taken away…”

I only wanted to catch your attention
But you overlooked me somehow
Besides you had too many boyfriends to mention
And I played my guitar too loud.
Luke 13:34 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!” 
3 Nephi 10:4-6 “…how oft have I gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and have nourished you? …how oft would I have gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens, and ye would not….how oft will I gather you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, if ye will repent and return unto me with full purpose of heart.”

How do you like me now?
How do you like me now,
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin here today?
I couldnt make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?
Matthew 25:31 & Matthew 16:27 combined “When the Son of man shall come in his glory and in the glory of his Father, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory…and then he shall reward every man according to his work.”

When I took off to Tennessee
I heard that you made fun of me
Never imagined I'd make it this far
Mark 15:20 “And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.”   
Luke 23:11 “And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.”   
Mark 15:31 “…the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.”

Then you married into money girl
Aint it a cruel and funny world?
He took your dreams and tore them apart.
Luke 23:28 “…weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children."
Either 12:26 "Fools mock, but they shall mourn..."
Matthew 13:22 “He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world. And the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.” 
Alma 39:14 “Seek not after riches nor the vain things of this world; for behold you cannot carry them with you.”
Alma 5:53 “And now my beloved brethren, I say unto you, can ye withstand these sayings; yea, can ye lay aside these things, and trample the Holy One under your feet; yea, can ye be puffed up in the pride of your hearts; yea, will ye still persist in the wearing of costly apparel and setting your hearts upon the vain things of the world, upon your riches?” 
Matthew 6:36 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” 

He never comes home
And youre always alone
And your kids hear you cryin down the hall
Alarm clock starts ringin
Who could that be singin
Its me baby, with your wake up call!

How do you like me now?
How do you like me now,
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin' here today?
I couldn't make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?

Tell me baby...
I will preach on...
Mark 16:20
Matt 26:64
Mark 8:38

I like to play my "guitar" pretty loud too.
