[Verse 1]
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 low, I can't believe this
"Get away Slim" on your welcome mat
Baby baby baby baby don't tell me that

[Chorus]
Don't tell me that, don't tell me that
Don't you 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 you're always gone
Upped and gone, I smell a rat
Baby baby baby baby don't tell me that

[Verse 2]
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 and now the chase is on
Something's wrong, I sure smell a rat
Baby baby baby baby don't tell me that

[Chorus]
Don't tell me that, don't tell me that
Don't you tell me that's he thinks 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
[Verse 3]
Well I look outside and there whoopin' on my car
A big old guy with a giant crow bar
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

[Chorus]
Don't tell me that, don't tell me that
Don't you tell me that you got a brand new bat
If you want me gone I can sure take a hint
Now don't you bet on an accident
Something's wrong, I sure smell a rat
Baby baby baby baby don't tell me that
