If you see me walking with my head faced down

Walking as I'm trying to cover up from my frown

Don't think I haven't seen you before, you've seen me

Don't think I don't remember what happened last week

You awoke in the night, you left my bed

Leaving me with questions in my drunken head

Where'd you go, what'd you do?

Where's my money gone?

You took it when you realised what you've done

It's okay, it's alright

We can take it easy tonight

But in time there'll be hell

From the secret that you do not tell

Cause I was caught messin'

(caught in the act)

Well, I shouldn't have been messin'

(you're just a dirty rat)

Laughs & friends, and friends & laughs

Company you keep, company you had

He approached me in the stall

He mentions your name

Said that it was me

And then gave me the blame

Oh, he punched me in the face

That's all as I recall

I woke up in the hospital

With blood on the walls

As I opened my eyes, I see my wife

She asked what happened on that night

It's okay, it's alright

We can take it easy tonight

But in time there'll be hell

From the secret that you do not tell

Well, it's cold outside and I'm walking home

I found you took the battery outta my phone

Oh make it, there's only about an hour to go

Walking through the miserable winter cold

Cause I was caught messin'

(caught in the act)

Well, I shouldn't have been messin'

(you're just a dirty rat)

Now I can't stop guessin'

We can all learn a lesson

It's okay, it's alright

We can take it easy tonight
