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
