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)
