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
