You Pulled The Carpet Out
I know sometimes I'm not the man you married
I'm like some lame lead singer in a tribute band
And just as I snatch victory from the jewels of my defeat
You pull the carpet out from underneath my feet
Well, I never forget that I'm someone's daddy
But I guess I must be careless with my time
'Cause just when I think that I've got my weekend plans
You pull the carpet out from underneath my feet
I ain't never been no follower of fashion
But just like you I got my sense of style
So why is that whenever we're together on the street
You pull the carpet out from underneath my feet?
It's not like you don't love me anymore
You just like to send me sprawling on the floor
Just like Caesar had his slave to keep him mortal
I guess I've got you to cut me down to size
'Cause there's just no one else to knock me off my feet
You'll pick me up when I'm feelin' down
