Johnny Rivers - Carpet Man

When you see some puddles on the ground
You lay down so she don't have to walk around

You think that will protect her from the rain
But you'll never ever stop the pain

She walks all over you
She knows she can
You're the carpet man
You're the carpet man

You take such care to keep that girl's feet clean
Like she's some kind of figurine
The world's so far below her it's not her scene
She uses you to stand between

She walks all over you
She knows she can
You're the carpet man
You're the carpet man

I would think you'd get tired of hurting
Every now and then
It's no good down there
And that's for certain and carpets do get then

And that's when they have to be thrown away
That's what she'll say to herself some sunny day

And she'll say come to my wedding
And of course, you do
And then the groom and her
Will have a dance on you

She walks all over you
She knows she can
You're the carpet man
You're the carpet man

Carpet man
Carpet man
Carpet man
Carpet man...
