[Verse 1]

Bobby works on weekends

And he's got a good head

But he never keeps his promises and

I'm getting pretty tired of staying up

In the middle of the night

I smell the guilt on him as he

Smothers me with buffers and

His winter coat that he just won't take off


[Verse 2]

"Bobby where are you going off

Got work first thing in the morning?"

But he didn't bother answering

Just turned and headed for the door

Under my bed

I keep a steak knife

These kids broke in six months ago

I guess it made mе feel a little bold


[Pre-Chorus]

Your leaving

Made mе so uneasy


[Chorus]

I should learn to love myself without a reason or a doubt

And he's always coming in as I'm checking out


[Verse 3]

I didn't do it gently

Lord knows the man is heavy

But I think I hit an artery

So he never came to get me

Watching him sleep

Got pretty tiresome

So I sat down and watched TV

As he finished ruining my mother's carpet

"Bobby Look!" (Bobby Look! BOBBY LOOK!)

It's the show we liked

When you stopped coming home on weekdays

And I sat alone here every night


[Pre-Chorus]

Oh baby

I see it pretty clearly


[Chorus]

That I should learn to love myself without areason or a doubt

And he's always coming in as I'm checking out

Oh I should learn to love myself without a reason or a doubt

And he's always coming in as I'm checking out

And he's always coming in as I'm checking out

And he's always coming in as I'm checking out

[Outro] x3.5

There's nothing but the rain

To wash the blood away

And all those old mistakes

May they depart with you today
