Lyrics I Smell A Rat - Patty Griffin

I Smell A Rat

I think i smell a rat in my house.
Baby i believe you got just too late.
Aw, i smell a rat, i smell a rat in my house.
Honey, i think you walkin''round too late.
You know i need a rat in my house like this now.
Just like i need a hole in my head.
You cry baby you afraid at night
You say you can’t stay home all alone.
Ohh you said you afraid, afraid to stay home at night.
You say you didn’t want to be home alone.
Ohh but i can smell a rat in the time i get back.
And all, and all you do is gonna make me moan.
You got my backdoor wide open.
Baby you say you’re supposed to be afraid.
You got my backdoor wide open.
And you tell me you’re supposed to be afraid.
You know the last time i slept with it opened
You know 'was so cold i almost lost my head
Sometime i think you’re foolin’me baby.
And i do believe it’s just drivin’me around.
Sometime i think you’re foolin’me baby.
Honey i think you’re just drivin’me around.
Why don’t you leave me alone woman
You know i think there’s another women i can go, i can be found.
I think that you have it to explain
Honey i’m not that hard to understand
Did you ever try to sit down and explain
I am not that hard to understand
You will be sleeping with the backdoor open
Baby or with another man
You’re so good.
I don’t believe i wanna leave you alone.
Ohh you’re so sweet to me.
I don’t believe, i can leave you alone.
Stayin', and peapin'(?) like you got a woman,
And try to make me, all happy.
