Sleepin´ on the foldout thanks to me and my big mouth
Why did I do what I did
I shoulda known better than to lie
But it´s too late and so tonight I´m

Sleepin´ on the foldout sofa-bed

She wanted me to go and see her family
But I told her that I had to work
I never dreamed she´d get home so dang early
And she caught me cleanin´ fish
Out on our back porch
(And now I´m)

Sleepin´ on the foldout thanks to me and my big mouth
Why did I do what I did
I shoulda known better than to lie
But it´s too late and so tonight I´m
Sleepin´ on the foldout sofa-bed

I can´t believe they call this thing a mattress
It´s two a.m. and I´m wide awake

Lookin´ back, I shoulda just been honest
Instead of tellin´ her the whole staff
Spent the day out on the lake
(And now I´m)

Sleepin´ on the foldout thanks to me and my big mouth
Why did I do what I did
I shoulda known better than to lie
But it´s too late and so tonight I´m
Sleepin´ on the foldout sofa-bed
