Well, I came to your door just the other day The smile that I wore soon faded away I knocked and I knocked 'til I wore out my fist Then my heart dropped, Lord, I can't believe this "Get away Slim" on your welcome mat Baby, baby, baby, baby, don't tell me that Don't tell me that, don't tell me that Don't ya tell me that's where your love is at You used to be my baby and you always was home Now you got me crazy 'cause ya always gone Something's wrong, Lord, I sure smell a rat Baby, baby, baby, baby, don't tell me that Well, I look around the corner and what do I see? Your doggone Homer homin' in on me I thought he was my pal so I brought him a bone He looked at me and growled, now the chase is on Something's wrong, Lord I sure smell a rat Baby, baby, baby, baby, don't tell me that Don't tell me that, don't tell me that Don't ya tell me he thinks that I'm your cat He used to be my buddy and we got along fine Now I'm all bloody, hangin' on your clothesline Lookin' 'round for where my pants is at Baby, baby, baby, baby, don't tell me that Well, I look outside and there a whoopin' on my car A big ole guy with a giant crowbar He looked at me and grinned, I could tell you right away He ain't no friend but, yeah, he wanted to play I took off a runnin' and I left him flat Baby, baby, baby, baby, don't tell me that Don't tell me that, don't tell me that Don't ya tell me you've got a brand new bat If you want me gone I can sure take a hint Now don't you depend on an accident Something's wrong, Lord, I sure smell a rat Baby, baby, baby, baby, don't tell me that
