Ain't beggin' yer fergiveness, after what I did.
But I went to the library, and I got books fer the kid,
And that Annie Proulx you wanted, so I just called to ask:
Although you hate me, please bring them books back.
You threw me out of our home with just the clothes I wore.
Them books was on the table, as I walked out the door.
The due date's burned on my brain, like my cheatin's burnin' you.
Please bring 'em back, before they're overdue.
Chorus:
Please return them library books on time,
Cuz I don't wanna hafta pay a fine.
I was wrong to cheat on you, but bring 'em back before they're due.
Please return them library books on time.
Just take 'em to the book drop outside the library,
Or drop 'em at the front desk, just like you dropped me.
I renewed 'em one time that I went online.
The final due date's a-comin' up this time.
Chorus
(Lyrics and music: Smith)
