Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 When I agree with you baby it makes you mad

 and when I don't it makes you sad

When I argue back you pack and leave

 and when I don't you pout in grieve

Chorus

There just ain't nobody knows what I go through

 Will you please make up your mind what you want me to do

 You say get out and I'd better stay gone

 Then you have a big policeman drag me back home

 You holler good and loud put him in the calaboose

 Then you cry and ask the judge won't you please turn him loose

(Repeat Chorus)

 My life with you baby has been one hard knock

Lord my head looks like an old chop block

And I'll tell you right now honey that ain't all

 You done kicked me till I feel like a used football

(Repeat Chorus)

You knock me down and then you pick me up

 Honey do you have to love so dog gone rough

 I wish to my soul you'd slow down the pace

 Cause I tell you right now the hides gettin scace

(Repeat Chorus)

Why when I married you you were such a meek little thing

 But honey among tigers you'd be queen

 If a poor little rabbit had you on his side

 Every hound in the country would crawl off and hide

(Repeat Chorus)
