Barking Up The Wrong Tree

Well I went to my baby on bended knees

baby, baby, baby, will you marry me?

She said: "sorry daddy but what can I say,

I found a new love just the other day"

And you're barking up the wrong tree

Well, you're barking up the wrong tree

Yes, you're barking up the wrong tree

That's what she said to me

Well I pleaded and begged nearly out of my mind

I said: "baby, baby, baby, girls are hard to find"

She said: "sorry daddy but try to understand,

I'm goin' with the cutest guy in the land"

And you're barking up the wrong tree

Well, you're barking up the wrong tree

Yes, you're barking up the wrong tree

That's what she said to me

Now, my heart was broken and it felt so blue

I said: "baby, baby, baby, does it mean we're through?"

She said: "sorry daddy but can't you take a hint?

My guy's got money, more than the mint"

And you're barking up the wrong tree

Well, you're barking up the wrong tree

Yes, you're barking up the wrong tree

That's what she said to me

Now my friend told me the other day

That my baby, baby, baby, had gone away

She took all his money and she left him flat

And let me tell you people I'm so glad that

I was barking up the wrong tree

Well, you're barking up the wrong tree

Yes, you're barking up the wrong tree

That's what she said to me
