I took my dog to the vet today
He gave her a shot and put her away
And when I got home and got ready for bed, I realized what I`d done
And that`s one less thing on my mind
I left the man I`m in love with behind
I moved to Chicago and told him I`d write
But now when I wake and I see the wrong face I realize what I`ve done
And that`s one less thing on my mind
Did you think that I knew what I was doing
When I said that I had to grow up on my own for a while?
Now I`m dog-less and loveless and cold in a midwestern winter
If I`d known what I was doing I sure as fuck wouldn`t be here
Now I like to think that I like to learn from mistakes
But I`ve made that error in judgment one too many times
And I`m not the wiser and sure not the wealthier
I wish to God that I had`ve been healthier mentally
When I decided to make up my own mind
But that`s one less thing that takes up my time
Well, I`m lining up six or seven good jobs
My hair`s looking great and my friends are all snobs
But I don`t have my man and I don`t have my dog
And I don`t have very much fun
And that`s one less thing on my mind
