Now everything's fine but I'm still gonna whine
You've got eyes that shine
But they aren't mine unless I pay for them in full
And that's the rule and I guess that's cool
But I ain't no fool
And I won't be made to look like I'm some troglodyte
I won't come home until it's night
Can't be seen just hanging around
Unless you come along
Girl, if you go, I'm gonna stay home
But if you stay, I'll go away
And I won't come back all night
No, that ain't right, but let's not fight
These words are trite, but they're the only ones that I know
You must have things to do
And I can't always be with you, there's a thousand reasons I could name
But every single one is lame
You take these chains, break these ties that bind me my whole life
Take me home, I don't mind, and now we both hate life
Face down in some bar you'll find me waiting, wife
Calling out your name
Now wait a minute dear, get yourself another beer
And as long as you're there, get me one too
And we'll work this thing all out
I had no doubt, don't you sit there and pout
And I won't be made some troglodyte
I won't come home until it's night
Can't be seen just hanging around
Unless you go along them down
You take these chains, break these ties that bind me my whole life
Take me home, I don't mind, and now we both hate life
Face down in some bar you'll find me waiting, wife
Calling out your name
Girl, if you go, I'm gonna stay home
But if you stay, I'll go away
And I won't come back all night
No, that ain't right, but let's not fight
These words are trite, but they're the only ones that I know
You must have things to do
And I can't always be with you, there's a thousand reasons I could name
But every single one is lame
You take these chains, break these ties that bind me my whole life
Take me home, I don't mind, and now we both hate life
Face down in some bar you'll find me waiting, wife
Calling out your name, your name
