Please Take Me Back
I'm doing all the cookin' and cleanin' all the floors.
The laundry still needs folding cause' I'm shoppin' at the stores.
I earn a decent salary and your cat won't let me be.
And worst of all... the local kids are making fun of me.
So give a little help and stop adding to my strife.
Or this Man is going to leave you and find another wife.
So if you're set on sittin' then I'm done with all these chores.
I say goodbye and au revoir, this puppy's out the door.
Knock. Knock
For the love of God! I'm sorry. My head is out of whack.
I'll do anything you ask, just forgive and take me back.
I'm dumber than a pole cat and as stupid as a hen.
I haven't made a good decision since I remember when.
So forgive my lack of candor but I think we're all agreed.
Given your lack of standards I'm all the man you need.
I've cleaned your car, filled the gas and turtle waxed the wheels.
Then charged your phone, paid the bills and made another meal.
The grass is cut, the hedge is trimmed and I've mended all my socks.
I washed the walls, shampooed the rug and cleaned the litter box.
I've done your nails, hemmed a skirt and pumiced both your heels.
Enough already, my wits are gone, I'm not sure what's your deal.
So I'm at my end, you drive me nuts and I'm tired of this load.
So I say goodbye, auf wiedersehen, it's time I hit the road.
Knock. Knock
For the love of God! I'm sorry. My head is out of whack.
I'll do anything you ask, just forgive and take me back.
I'm dumber than a pole cat and as stupid as a hen.
I haven't made a good decision since I remember when.
So forgive my lack of candor but I think we're all agreed.
Given your lack of standards I'm all the Man you need.
So twice a month I pack my bags and head towards the light.
But she takes me back, no questions asked, it somehow feels right.
So let the children point and laugh, I'm someone she can count on.
So excuse me now, she needs lady things and I think I have a coupon
The End
