Barking Up The Wrong Tree

I thought I hit it big when I met you

My prayers had all been answered

and my dreams had all come true

But bit by bit I found that we were never meant to be

and I was barkin’ up the wrong tree

Chorus

I’m barkin’ up the wrong tree

Barkin’ up the wrong tree

You got me chasin’ my tail

and lickin’ my wounds

Snarlin’ and a growlin’

and a howlin’ at the moon

All your cattin’ round makes it very plain to me

that I’ve been barkin’ up the wrong tree.


Verse 2

Once it seemed our futures tied together

We were goin’ places side-by-side forever

You had me good as tethered,

but you went and set me free

You left me barkin’ up the wrong tree
