Baby, Baby, Don't Tell Me That

Well, I came to your door just the other day

The smile that I wore soon faded away

I knocked and I knocked 'til I wore out my fist

And my heart dropped, Lord, I can't believe this

Get away, Slim, on your welcome mat

Baby, baby, baby, baby, don't tell me that

Don't tell me that, don't tell me that

Don't you tell me that's where your love is at

You used to be my baby and you always was home

Now you drive me crazy 'cause you're always gone

Something's wrong, Lord, I sure smell a rat

Baby, baby, baby, baby, don't tell me that

Well, I look around the corner and what do I see

Your dog called Homer home and then on me

I thought he was my pal so I brought him a bone

He looked at me and growled and now the chase is on

Something's wrong, Lord, I sure smell a rat

Baby, baby, baby, baby, don't tell me that

Don't tell me that, don't tell me that

Don't you tell me he thinks that I'm your cat

You used to be my buddy and we got along fine

Now I'm all bloody, hangin' on your clothesline

Lookin' around to where my pants was at

Baby, baby, baby, baby, don't tell me that

Well, I look outside and there a-whoopin' on my car

A big old guy with a giant crowbar

He looked at me and grinned and I can tell you right away

He ain't no friend but he wanted to play

I took off a-runnin' and I left him flat

Baby, baby, baby, baby, don't tell me that

Don't tell me that, don't tell me that

Don't you tell me you got a brand new bat

If you want me gone, I can sure take a hint

Now don't you depend upon an accident

Something's wrong, Lord, I sure smell a rat

Baby, baby, baby, baby, don't tell me that
