I don't come around during waking hours

To see a dog like you

You'd do everything in your power

To always stay brand new

You ain't worth my worries

You ain't worth my tears

It's like being stuck in a doghouse hangin' round here

There's those with futures and those with pasts

And can the tables turn your way

You're ticking down time 'til your husband asks

Why you lay around all day

You ain't worth every penny

That I ain't got

So stick around and enjoy the mess you've wrought

I don't wanna waste my time on the firing line

Waiting for the other foot to fall

I tell you honey my only crime

Was talking to you through the walls

I don't come around during waking hours

I don't come around at all these days

You can call me a thief, you can call me a coward

I knew well enough to get away

You ain't worth my worries

You ain't worth my tears

There's no farewells when you know you won't see me for a couple of years

I gotta run

Cause the day's drawin' near

It's like being stuck in a doghouse hangin' round here
