I came staggerin´ in, in the middle of the night
I got my alibi sewed up nice and tight
Cracked the bedroom door, I tried to keep it from squeakin’
´Cause I know there´s a wildcat in there sleepin´

But the, the light was on and the bed was made
And there´s a dear John written on a pillow case
She said, I´ve gone to the Bahamas, I´ve had it with the drama
Time to get out of town, I´m just slowin´ you down
She said, I found somebody that likes the things that you used to
Yeah, and he´s got a lot of money, we´re goin´ where it´s sunny
And baby, he´s a looker too
She said, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do
Oh yeah, I woke up this mornin´ in a terrible mess
I had the telephone ringin´ and her cat on my chest
I´m wipin´ the sleep out of my bloodshot eyes
Oh, it´s gotta be her callin´ to apologize
She must be feelin´ bad ´cause she done me wrong

Then I, I pushed the button on a Code-A-Phone
She said, I´ve gone to the Bahamas, I´ve had it with the drama
Time to get out of town, I´m just slowin´ you down
She said, I found somebody that likes the things that you used to
Yeah, she said, he´s got a lot of money, we´re goin´ where it´s sunny
And baby, he´s a looker too
She said, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do
Oh, and I got the stereo and she got the music
Yeah, and I got this washer but I don´t know how to use it
She´s gone to the Bahamas, had it with the drama
Time to get out of town, I´m just slowin’ you down
She said, I found somebody that likes the things that you used to

Yeah, she said, he´s got a lot of money, we´re goin´ where it´s sunny
And baby, he´s a looker too
She said, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do
Oh yeah, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do
Maybe you can come get this cat
