I've done things, not proud of

Broken all the rules of love

Sentenced five

And doin' ten once again

Of all the damage done

Would've been easy just to run

But I stood by

Showed my hand like a man, yes, I did

I've paid the price

For some doghouse rights

Better wake up, wake up

Let me back in or let me go

Once I was king

Kept a black book on a string

But that's changed, rightful too

Since I met you, baby

I've paid the price

For some doghouse rights

Better wake up, wake up

Let me back in or let me go

Oh, a brand new man

That's what you want

That's what you want

Is that's what I am

Baby, this day on, this day on

I won't smoke or drink or stay out late

You can tell all my friends

I moved away

Oh and I've paid the price

For some doghouse rights

Better wake up, wake up, darling

Let me back in, let me go, baby

Wake up, wake up

Let this fool back in, let me go

Wake up

Let this fool back in or let me go
