Well I've done things I'm not proud of 

Broken all the rules of lve 

Sentenced five and doin' ten once again 

Of all the damage done 

It would've been easy just to run 

But I stood by and showed my hand like a man 



CHORUS: 

And I've paid the price for some doghouse rights 

Better wake up (wake up) 

Let me back in or let me go 



Once I was king, kept a black book on a string 

But that's changed and rightful too 

Since I met you 



Oh a brand new man that's what you want (that's what you want) 

That's what I am 

And baby from this day on (this day on) 

I won't smoke or drink or stay out late 

You can tell all my friends I moved away 



Wake up (wake up) let this fool back in or let me go 

Wake up, let this fool back in or let me go.
