Every single morning I have to wake you up Point you to the kitchen pour some coffee in your cup Get you off to work cause there's bills we gotta pay We've got one learning to talk and another on the way This is what you wanted and this is what you got If you didn't want the strings baby why'd you tie the knot You and all your buddies you love your Friday nights You go out every one of them until the morning light When I need you on Saturday you say that you're too tired If being married was your job I'd tell you you were fired Don't be mad at me when you're sleeping with the dog If you didn't want the strings baby why'd you tie the knot Oh why'd you tie the knot, why'd you tie the knot Every time a pretty little thing walks by it's like you're trying to read something written on her thigh You look just like a hound dog staring at a ham There used to be a time when I used to give a dam You think it's something different it really hit the spot If you didn't want the strings baby why'd you tie the knot Why'd you tie the knot, why'd you tie the knot Oh why'd you tie the knot, why'd you tie the knot If you didn't want the strings baby why'd you tie the knot.
