Since you tried to kill me I've got nothing to say
You sent some boys around to blow my kneecaps away
I know I burned your house down and I smashed up your car
I know I spent your giro in the public bar
But all that didn't happen just by accident
I tried to light my fag I thought the match was spent
I borrowed a sledge hammer just to pound out the dents
Baby why do you treat me this way?

A knock came on the door while you were looking for work
The man who had the shotgun went completely berserk
I'm very glad you trained your little dog to attack
They perforated him while escaped out the back
I'm only phoning up to say I love you still
And I just can't believe that you have had your fill
You can't get rid of me because I'm too hard to kill
Baby why do you treat me this way?

I'm trying to make it up to you I'm gonna' put it right
To show there's no hard feelings I'm coming back tonight
I know you really love me, I don't care what you say
And anyway I'm coming back to stay

Well that's my final word I think I'll leave it at that
I know you miss your dog and so I'm bringing my cat
The place it looks a mess like it was hit by a bomb
We can't afford a daily so I'll bring round my mom
And she'll bring her equipment and she'll polish your floors
And she can bring my brother who can re-hang your doors
And all you'll have to do is cook a dinner for four
Baby why do you treat me this way?
