[Intro] Yeah… I tried, alright? I gave it a year… But this? This ain't normal, Honey! [Verse 1] Every time I take him down to play Dogs go dumb and drift away Neighbor's Rottweiler, rough and proud Saw him once… then shit out loud Pigeons panic, plummet, drop Like he whispered "make it stop" Came home shaking, locked the door Later then, I swear to the Lord Told him "goodnight, kid"… killed the light He talked me low like Barry White [Chorus] Baby, I tried — I played it kind But that kid of yours ain't mine One more night of that creepy shit And I'm walking out this time [Verse 2] Turned off cartoons — Paw Patrol — mistake Lights went low and the whole place shook Juice went dark in his little cup Blood-red bubbles bubbling up One night late, we were both in bed Thought I heard something, turned my head He stood there still by the bedside light — Didn't say a word… just watched all night [Chorus] Baby, I tried — I played it kind But that kid of yours ain't mine One more night of that creepy shit And I ain't coming back this time! [Bridge] I said "Who's your daddy, son?" He turned slow… I felt it run Made the sink, needed a drink Hands all shaking, couldn't think Said "Rosemary… don't take this wrong— But I don't think I belong And what the hell's with them hooded creeps? In that busted van across the street? Who the hell did you meet that week?" [Final Chorus] Baby, I tried — I played it kind But that kid of yours ain't mine One more night of that creepy shit And I'm walking out this time (Yeah I'm walking… yeah I'm walking…) [Outro ] Pack my bag, leave the key Ain't no fixing what I see You can keep the house, the street, the night… Just keep that kid out of my life Yeah… I'm done [End]
