Lyrics

When you see some puddles on the ground You lay down, so she don't have to walk around You think that will protect her from the rain But you'll never ever stop the pain She walks all over you You know she can, she knows she can You're the carpet man, you're the carpet man You take such care to keep that girl's feet clean Like she's some kind of figurine The world's so far below her, it's not her scene And so she uses you to stand between She walks all over you You know she can, she knows she can You're the carpet man, you're the carpet man I would think you'd get tired of hurting Every now and then It's no good down there, that's for certain And carpets do get thin And that's when they have to be thrown away That's what she'll say to herself, some sunny day And she'll say, "Come to my wedding" and of course you do And then the groom and her will have a dance on you She walks all over you You know she can, she knows she can You're the carpet man, you're the carpet man Carpet man Carpet man Carpet man Carpet man
