lyrics

I’m tired of livin’ in the shack out back of your heart
You don’t want me around, then you don’t like to be apart
You won’t let me in, you won’t let me go
Now I’m out here poundin’ on your big front door
I’m tired of livin’ in the shack out back of your heart

She left you in the dirt so long ago
That cute little rich girl with the right shade of hair
She was the one who could take you to the top
I guess what you saw wasn’t really there

You told me once I was your real love
And all you wanted was just a little fun
And if I’d bide my time for just a little while
You’d be back in my arms, soon as you were done, but now

CHORUS

Your friends got the money, cars and lots of class (ya gotta get it somewhere)
Clever conversation, you gotta stay primed for that (that’s such hard work, baby)
You come ‘round after they’re all done with you (it don’t take too long)
When the sexy girls sashay on to someone new (ain’t that a shame)

I been sittin’ out here with your boat and the cast-off chairs
Keepin’ the heat on and your fridge full of beer
But if your palace ain’t for me, my simple love ain’t for you
And I’ll catch the next bus right out of here, because

CHORUS

Yeah, I’m tired of livin’ in the shack out back
Better watch out, ‘cause my bags are packed
Tired of livin’ in the shack out back of your heart, yeah (Bye, bye, baby)
