You wonder why I'm gone so much and come home late at night While you sit there and swear the way I'm living can't be right It seems to bring you joy serene to nag me to the ground So I'll be out drinking pick me ups so you can put me down You've never tried to look inside and find the good in me How could you know I love you so my faults are all you see The only time I feel at home is when I'm on the town So I'll be out drinking pick me ups so you can put me down It wouldn't do to cheat on you and I wouldn't if I could This heart of mine won't let my mind believe that you're no good I'll just plead on until they come and put me in the ground Then I'll don't need the pick me ups cause you can't put me down No I won't need the pick me ups cause you can't put me down
