You Said You Couldn't Tell The Doormat From My Face

You Said If I Had Brains I Would Pawn Them

Could Be I've Finally Gotten Up Off Of My Thumbs

Could Be That You're 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 I've Changed My Looks

I Read New Books

I've Got Friends That Mean What They Say

Things Are Much Better Since You Went Away



You Said Without Your Help I Couldn't Tie My Shoes

You Said Without A Doubt I'd 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 I've Changed My Looks

I Read New Books

I've Got Friends That Mean What They Say

Things Are Much Better Since You Went Away



When I Was Younger I Was Told Without Another

I'd Be Incomplete And Deflated

My Chosen One Has Chosen To Befriend Another

And To My Surprise -

I'm 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 I've Changed My Looks

I Read New Books

I've Got Friends That Mean What They Say

Things Are Much Better Since You Went Away
