Well you think that you can lie and tell me alibis And it's alright Keep the grapevine line working overtime On your late nights You think you can say some words,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 So you can hang up your guns Break my heart and then you 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 I guess Ive been a fool playing by the rules For too long Well I've been sitting here at home with the porchlight on While you've been chasing everything that runs Let me put this in your ear and make it be so clear Baby that dog won't hunt Baby that dog won't hunt So 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 and then you want a new start Baby that dog won't hunt
