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
