You said you couldnt tell the doormat from my face You said if I had brains I would pawn them Could be Ive finally gotten up off of my thumbs Could be that youre the one that was on them Cause the plants have grown The dog came home The bills are all getting paid Things are much better since you went away And Ive changed my looks I read new books Ive got friends that mean what they say Things are much better since you went away You said without your help I couldnt tie my shoes You said without a doubt Id be stranded Could be that you were right and you had to fly the coop Could be the eagle finally has landed Cause the plants have grown The dog came home The bills are all getting paid Things are much better since you went away And Ive changed my looks I read new books Ive got friends that mean what they say Things are much better since you went away When I was younger I was told without another Id be incomplete and deflated My chosen one has chosen to befriend another And to my surprise - Im elated! Cause the plants have grown The dog came home The bills are all getting paid Things are much better since you went away And Ive changed my looks I read new books Ive got friends that mean what they say Things are much better since you went away [repeat]
