Lyrics for I Can't Stand It

It's hard being a man Livin' in a garbage pail My landlady called me up She tried to hit me with a mop I can't stand it anymore, more Can't stand it anymore, more Can't stand it anymore, more But if Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright If Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright I live with 13 dead cats A purple dog that wears spats They're living out in the hall And I can't stand it anymore I can't stand it anymore, more I can't stand it anymore, more I can't stand it anymore, more But if Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright If Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright It's hard being a man Living in a garbage pail My lady called me up And tried to hit me with a mop I can't stand it anymore, more Ooh, I can't stand it anymore, more I can't stand it anymore, more But if Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright If Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright Be alright Be alright, baby Be alright Oh God!
