  • I think I smell a rat in my house, baby I believe you got just too late
    Aw, I smell a rat, I smell a rat in my house, honey, I think you walkin' 'round too late
    You know I need a rat in my house like this now, just like I need a hole in my head

    You cry baby you afraid at night, you say you can't stay home all alone
    Oh you said you afraid, afraid to stay home at night, you say you didn't want to be home alone
    Oh, but I can smell a rat in the time I get back, and all, and all you do is gonna make me moan

    You got my backdoor wide open, baby you say you're supposed to be afraid
    You got my backdoor wide open, and you tell me you're supposed to be afraid
    You know the last time I slept with it opened, you know 'was so cold I almost lost my head

    Sometime I think you're foolin' me baby, and I do believe it's just drivin' me around
    Sometime I think you're foolin' me baby, honey I think you're just drivin' me around
    Why don't you leave me alone woman, you know I think there's another women I can go,
    I can be found

    I think that you have it to explain. honey I'm not that hard to understand
    Did you ever try to sit down and explain, I am not that hard to understand
    You will be sleeping with the backdoor open, baby or with another man

    You're so good, I don't believe I wanna leave you alone
    Oh you're so sweet to me, I don't believe, I can leave you alone
    Stayin', and peepin' like you got a woman, and try to make me, all happy Writer/s: JERRY LEIBER, MIKE STOLLER
