Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It was 12:00 o'clock at night, you walk out the door
You told me baby, you were going to the drug store
Well, in my mind, I knew you were lying
The drug store closed at a quarter to nine
[Chorus]
I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense
The way you've been acting is such a drag
You done put me in a trick bag
[Verse 2]
When I come home, start an argument
Just to keep me from asking where my voodoo went
I peek out the front door, I hear the back door slam
Peep out of my window, somebody's taking on the lam
[Chorus]
I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense
The way you've been acting is such a drag
You done put me in a trick bag
[Bridge]
Oh hey, yeah
Oh hey, yeah
Oh hey, yeah
Oh hey, yeah
[Verse 3]
We had a fight, then you got mad
Got on the telephone, called your mum and dad
Dad said, "She's my daughter, and I'm her pa
And you ain't nothing but a son-in-law."
[Chorus]
I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense
The way you've been acting is such a drag
You done put me in a trick bag
[Outro]
Oh hey, yeah
Oh hey, yeah
Oh hey, yeah
Oh hey, yeah
Oh hey, yeah
Oh hey, yeah
Oh hey, yeah
Oh hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
