Lyrics

Why treat me like this darling
Taking advantage of my love
You used to be my pet
Now you're out for blood

Something came over you
Handed by your mother
Like nickels in a mason jar
Nary a cent for another

Like boxers in the ring
We went round and round
Now I'm your punching bag
Not a gopher or your clown

Years past we were a song
We could argue all day long
Now using me like a beanbag
Still my fault an old dishrag

It started at the wedding
Before the moon was over
I was your big lollypop
Now I'm just your sucker

Like boxers in the ring

We went round and round
Now I'm your punching bag
Not a gopher or your clown

What made you’d be like this
Not in public or family
Only in front of them
You're sweet as Texas tea
You're sweet as Texas tea

Always putting me down
In front of my friends
I gotta wonder
Is this how it ends

I don’t’ mind helping out
With the dishes or the dust
In Texas heat I cut the grass
No reward a kick in the ass

My beer's at the pressure cooker
Round the corner just to see
If some needy housewife
Wants a beat up man like me

Like boxers in the ring
We go round and round
Now I'm your punching bag
Not a gopher or your clown

So listen up girl
I'll drop the hitch
On one of your cute girlfriends
And just GO-PHER one - one weekend
I'll just GO - fir one
