lyrics
You know who you live with/you know who you love
Got a handle on him/like a fist in a glove
Well, that fist is gonna swing hard enough to make you sit and cry
And wonder why/you didn’t know
you couldn’t see how much it showed
You didn’t care/when you were told
your love was bought/your heart got sold
CHORUS
You know it won’t be too long before he’s somebody else’s baby
Yeah, it won’t be too long before he’s somebody else’s baby
Don’t listen to me/Just wait and see
That it won’t be too long before he’s somebody else’s baby
He knows who he lives with/he knows what he’s got
Got his world on a rope and it’s tied with a knot
Well that rope is a leash with a handle on either side
It opens wide/to let him in
and once inside/the games begin
The good times roll/they take their toll
That’s when you know/ who’s in control
CHORUS
It’s always the same/someone else is to blame when your good thing goes wrong
The next thing you know he’s still hanging around but he’s already gone
SOLO
CHORUS
