I Smell a Rat Songtext
von Tab Benoit

I think I smell a rat in my house
Baby, I believe he′s got just two legs
Oh, I think I smell a rat in my house
Baby, I believe he's walkin′ 'round on two legs
You know I need a rat in my house like this now
Just like I need a hole in my head

You claim to be afraid at night
You said you can't stay home all alone
You said you′re afraid, you′re afraid to stay home at night
You said you didn't wanna be home all alone
But I keep smellin′ that rat every time I get back
And all you do is wanna make me moan, hey

You got my back door wide open
Baby, you say you're supposed to be afraid
You got my back door, my back door wide open
And you tell me you′re supposed to be afraid
You know, the last time I slept with it open
You know in New Orleans I almost lost my head, hey


Sometimes I think you're foolin′ me, baby
I do believe you're just drivin' me around
Sometimes I think you′re foolin′ me, baby, ah
Honey, I think you're just drivin′ me around
Why don't you just leave here now, woman?
You know, I think there′s another woman I can hold
Not to be found

I think if you'll ever explain
Honey, I′m not that hard to understand
Did you ever sit down, sit down and try to explain?
Baby, I'm not that hard to understand
You wouldn't be sleepin′ with that back door open
Baby, if you′re there with another man, alright

But you're so good
I don′t believe I could leave you alone
Hey, you're so sweet to me
Baby, I don′t believe I could leave you alone
So stay and keep it like you got it, woman
Always try to make me a happy home, oh
