This man keeps knocking on my door
you know I can´t recall seeing him before
he´s calling out for someone that ainght me (I say)
"Hey Mister, you´re barking up the wrong tree"

You should be looking behind your back
But then again - You might get a heart attack
That girl of yourrs is where no girl should be
"So Mister, you´re barking up the wrong tree"

Why don´t you try - knocking on the door
I knew your girl but that was before
She saw my neighbour in his tights
He came one night - just to have a ball
She took one look and then she wanted it all
That was it - hello lonely nighhts

That little hope in his eyes just died
and for a while
I wish
i had lied
He cried
He knew that he was like me
Just one lonely bloke - barking up the wrong tree

Apologize?
 no I don´t think so
with girls like that, man, you ought to know
You´re bound to loose
Some girls want what they see
"So Mister, you´re barking up the wrong tree"
"Why don´t you try
knocking ........

And where he went
I just don´t know
But a story like this
is told to show you girls
No man wants to:
jusy one sorry joke
barking up a wrong tree
One lonely bloke
barking up the wrong tree
Just one sorry joke
barking up the wrong tree
