(Ra da da dat whoa ho ra da da dat whoa ho)
Well I wish I hadn't a got up this morning
I wish I'd a stayed in the bed
Cause when I got up
There on the dresser was a note and here's what it said
If you thought I was asleep when you snuck in
About a quarter past three but I wadn't you see
Cause you didn't see me seeing you sneakin' in again
(Ra da da dat whoa ho ra da da dat whoa ho)
Well there I stood a hangin' on the dresser
With a hangover hangin' over me
Well I read your note from start to finish
Well it said you were finished with me
Well it wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't felt so bad
But I felt so bad mostly in my head
When I read what your letter said I wish I'd stayed in bed
When I got up this morning outta that nice warm sack
I read what you wrote and my poor heart broke
I felt like crawlin' right back in the sack
Gonna pick up the phone call up the paper and run me a classified ad
To my darlin' wife the love of my life sayin' sorry I treated you so bad
Well the ads gonna read I'm smartin' at the heart
And a smartin' eart really tears you apart
If the smartin' in your heart smarts like the smartin' in my heart
[ guitar ]
Did you ever get up in the morning like I got up this morning
Well I guess you have cause everybody does you can't sleep all your life
I'm gonna pick up the phone call up the paper and run me a classified ad
To my darlin' wife the love of my life sayin' sorry I treated you so bad
Well the ads gonna read I'm smartin' at the heart and a smartin' heart
Really tears you apart if the smartin' in your heart
Smarts like the smartin' in my heart smarts
(Ra da da dat whoa ho ra da da dat whoa ho)
