"Dog House Roses" lyrics

It's Saturday night, she's fancied up
Love of her life's come to pick her up
There's things in the past
She tries to forget

Will he be late, will he be there at all?
Broken heart, man, it's not her fault
She's only in love
'Cause she's shot through the heart

There he goes, he's doing it again
He's out all night with all his friends
She's on the couch
With her head in her hands

6 AM, comes through the door
Dog house roses scattered on the floor
She's falling apart
'Cause she's shot through the heart

Well, how many times must she cry?
Through it all, she stands by his side
But he just can't shake
Monkey off his back

He knows he's wrong to make her cry
Whoa, and God knows how hard he's tired
To do right by her
Says it's so damn hard

There he goes, he's doing it again
He's out all night with all his friends
She's on the couch
With her head in her hands

6 AM, comes through the door
Dog house roses scattered on the floor
She's falling apart
'Cause she's shot through the heart

Maybe someday, he'll straighten up
Will it be too late, will she have her enough?
She's only in love
She says it's so damn hard

She won't be there to watch him die
Packs those bags with teardrops in her eyes
She's leaving him
'Cause she's shot through the heart

There he goes, he's doing it again
He's out all night with all his friends
She's in her car
With her head in her hands

6 AM, through the door
Dog house roses, they don't work anymore
'Cause her note says goodbye
'Cause I'm shot through the heart

No more crying, no, no
'Cause I'm shot through the heart
