The mans in the moon, the cats in the cradle and im in the dog house

It never would have happened if my best friend wasnt such a loud mouth.

Shes heard things that she don't like about my nights out

Now shes on me like old cheap suit im in the dog house

The dogs eating good and he dont care

D
There he sits in my favorite chair

Who ever said it was mans best friend had it all wrong
D G
When she finds out you've been running with the pack you'll be dog-gone

D G
i cant stay here scratching fleas and ticks in the dog house
