Every single morning I have to wake you up
Point you to the kitchen, pour some coffee in your cup
Get you off to work ‘cause it’s bills we gotta pay
You got one woman to talk and another on the way
This is what you want and this is what you got
If you didn’t want the strings, baby why’d you tie the knot?
Meeting all your buddies, you love your friday nights
You go bout every one of them until the morning light
And I need you on saturday, you say that you’re too tired
If being married was a job I’d tell you you were fired
Don’t be mad at me when you’re sleeping with the dogs
If you didn’t want the strings, baby why’d you tie the knot?
Oh why’d you tie the knot? Why’d you tie the knot?
Every time a pretty little thing walks by
It’s like you’re tryin to reading something written on her thigh
You whip just like a hound all staring at her ham
And there used to be a time when I used to give a damn
You think of something different and really hit the spot
If you didn’t want the strings, baby why’d you tie the knot?
Why’d you tie the knot? Why’d you tie the knot?
Oh why’d you tie the knot? Why’d you tie the knot?
If you didn’t want the strings, baby why’d you tie the knot?
