Doghouse Rights

I've done things, not proud of
Broken all the rules of love
Sentenced five
And doin' ten once again

Of all the damage done
Would've been easy just to run
But I stood by
Showed my hand like a man, yes, I did

I've paid the price
For some doghouse rights
Better wake up, wake up
Let me back in or let me go

Once I was king
Kept a black book on a string
But that's changed, rightful too
Since I met you, baby

I've paid the price
For some doghouse rights
Better wake up, wake up
Let me back in or let me go

Oh, a brand new man
That's what you want
That's what you want
Is that's what I am

Baby, this day on, this day on
I won't smoke or drink or stay out late
You can tell all my friends
I moved away

Oh and I've paid the price
For some doghouse rights
Better wake up, wake up, darling
Let me back in, let me go, baby

Wake up, wake up
Let this fool back in, let me go
Wake up
Let this fool back in or let me go
