Well, you think that you can lie, tell me alibis 
And it's alright 
Keep the grapevine line working overtime 
On your late nights 

You think that you can say some words and take away the 
hurt 
And I'll still be your number one 
But when it ain't working out we got a saying down 
South 
'Baby that dog won't hunt' 

Baby that dog won't hunt 
You can hang up your guns 
Break my heart, want a new start 
Baby that dog won't hunt 

Well, it's been open season on your double dealing 
And it's so wrong 
For too long 

Well, I've been sitting here at home with the porch 
light on 
You've been chasing everything that runs 
Well, let me put this in your ear, make it be so clear 
Baby that dog won't hunt 

Baby that dog won't hunt 
You can hang up your guns 
Break my heart, and then you want a new start 
Baby that dog won't hunt 

Baby that dog won't hunt 
So you can hang up your guns 
Break my heart, then you want a new start 
Baby that dog won't hunt
