With the kids in the backseat his wife is working all the time

got a list in his pocket he plays the family man

been seen hanging out he got trouble on his mind

likes to burn a little money and waste a little time

Plays a house trained man

Walking in the door in the middle of the night

telling all the family he been workin’ overtime

he been shapin’ up his body cuttin’ down on the fries

gets a little workout at the house of red light

Plays a house trained man, he got trouble in the morning

house trained man, he got lipstick on his collar

house trained man, he got to get a lawyer

get back to the suburbs he’s got to run for cover

plays a house trained man

Mama always told her you gotta do what you can

fix yourself up with a house trained man

looks ain’t everything they come with a price

you’ll be askin’ for some trouble needin’ legal advice

get a house trained man, no trouble in the morning

house trained man, she got her mama’s warning

house trained man, she’s gonna get a lawyer

get back to the suburbs he’s got to run for cover

ain’t no house trained man

So she got up and got out and the house it got sold

he takes the kids on the weekend she ain’t got no

house trained man, too much trouble in the morning

house trained man, never heeded any warning

house trained man, got to get a lawyer

get back to the suburbs he’s got to run for cover

She don’t need, she don’t need no

trouble in the morning, she don’t need no

trouble in the evening she ain’t got no house trained man
