I've been livin' on the sofa circuit
Since me and my baby could not work it out
I've been livin' on the sofa circuit
Let me tell you what it's all about

Me and my baby used to fuss and fight
Nothing I'd do ever seemed to be right
One morning after burnin' the torch
I found my clothes lying on the porch

Ever since I've been on the roam
From door to door breakin' up homes
Sleepin' on the sofa for a week or so
Then I split and don't come back no more
'Cause I...

I've been livin' on the sofa circuit
Since me and my baby could not work it out
I've been livin' on the sofa circuit
Let me tell you what it's all about

Sometimes I take a different route
I don't leave, they just kick me out
The situation changes from day to day
I just can't change my ways
'Cause I...

I've been livin' on the sofa circuit
Since me and my baby could not work it out
I've been livin' on the sofa circuit
Let me tell you what it's all about

You see, a sofa is softer than the ground
And warmer than the back seat
Of the car I drive around
More comfortable than a sleeping bag
It's a fact, it ain't no brag

Now listen, fellas
Here's a lesson that you should know
If you're out on your ear
You better have a place to go
If you want to stay out of my situation
Let this song be your education
'Cause I...

I've been livin' on the sofa circuit
Since me and my baby could not work it out
I've been livin' on the sofa circuit
Let me tell you what it's all about
