I take too much abuse to me that's all I ever get Yeah callin' a man like you a husband is just like callin' old wild cat a pet You'd better stop your runnin' around say nothin' stop movin' on But who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone Each day you walk off over me can't you take another out If you start actin' like married man maybe we could find the way to work things out You'll find your key won't fit the lock if you keep on a keepin' on But who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone I know you think I'm runnin' round and that's why you're so peaked That's another lie of that same old stuff but I hope you don't expect me to belive Though after night you don't come back cause you just love the home But who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone [ steel ] I know you think I'm runnin' round... Honey who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone You're gonna miss me honey gal Ah you're kiddin'
