| In this town there’s a joke going around |
| And everyone says it’s you |
| They’re fazed, they’re crazed, they’re constantly amazed |
| At the thing you say and do |
| He lies, he steals, he cheats on you |
| And comes back in the end |
| You say «man, I’ll do anything you want, |
| don’t leave me again» |
| Carolyn, can’t you see what you’re doing |
| Carolyn, step outside of the ruin |
| You sit home alone by the telephone, |
| Playing it tit-for-tat |
| Well, I don’t mean to get all in the air |
| But I think you’re better than that |
| He’ll hold you down, he’ll pin you down |
| and make you holler, «When!» |
| You say, «man I’ll do anything you want |
| Don’t leave me again"(ch) |
| Well I ain’t no knight in shining armour |
| coming to rescue you |
| I’m crazy, I’m lazy and I think you know I get mean |
| When i’ve had a few |
| But I’m not the kind to shake you down |
| and peck at you like a hen |
| C’mon baby, take a walk with me now |
| and start all over again (ch) |
