As performed on the album Wild Ways.

You woke me at six-thirty in the morning,
trying to fit your key into the wall
Now it’s five in the afternoon
and the only time you’ve moved
was to crawl back out and throw up in the hall

Well you can’t remember how you got home last night
And you can’t recall where you lost your shoe
And hungover don’t begin to describe
just how fucked you feel inside
Looks like your wild ways are catching up with you

You look like you been sleeping in the dirt again
And you smell like ex-boyfriend and booze
Things don’t bounce back the way they did when we were kids
Looks like your wild ways are catching up with you

You used to throw ’em back ’til the break of dawn
then brush your teeth and go to work all day
Now you can still put away the hooch,
but it don’t stay down like it used to do
and you need three days to take the pain away

You look like you been sleeping in the dirt again
And you smell like ex-boyfriend and booze
Things don’t bounce back the way they did when we were kids
Looks like your wild ways are catching up with you

Lean cuisine and bad TV ain’t as cool as clubs and drugs
But you’ll thank me in the morning, my friend
So let’s lock the door, turn out the light
I won’t tell your friends if you don’t tell mine
And if they call us lame, I’ll love you just the same

You look like you been sleeping in the dirt again
And you smell like ex-boyfriend and booze
So things don’t bounce back the way they did when we were kids
That’s just your wild ways catching up with you
Looks like your wild ways are catching up with you
