Story Behind The Song

My wife records Dr Phil every day and some times I watch the recordings after work with her. Many of his sayings come up over and over and I decided to write a funny satirical piece about it.

Song Description

The wife watches Dr Phil every day and starts using all of his sayings and psychology to get her husband to be a better man.

Lyrics

Eat What You Kill
Larry Carr (c) 2004

(Verse 1)
Well I came home late from work the other night
I walked in to somethin? didn?t feel too right
Strange words and phrases coming out of my wife
Like ?This is going to be a changing day in your life?
Then she told me ?Honey you don?t understand?
I?ve been seeing another man

(Verse 2)
He comes in the house every day at three
Now that was a real ?defining moment? for me
I asked her after thirty years why she?d wanna switch
?Cause your running everything off in a ditch?
I said I?m gonna get a raise pretty soon now honey
She said ?You don?t solve money problems with money?

(Chorus)
In this life boy it?s eat what you kill
If you don?t take control of it nobody will
How?s that workin? for ya
Well Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That?s a load of crap, that dog won?t hunt
Take some advice from my friend Dr. Phil
In this life boy, it?s eat what you kill

(4 measure Break)

(Verse 3)
She pulled her ?Self Matters? book off the shelf
Said ?This will help you find your authentic self?
?Five pivotal people?s what Dr. Phil said?
Well I?d like to plant my pivot foot on his bald head
And now when I see her cross a crowded room
I wave my index finger and it makes her swoon

(Chorus)
In this life boy it?s eat what you kill
If you don?t take control of it nobody will
How?s that workin? for ya
Well Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That?s a load of crap, that dog won?t hunt
Take some advice from my friend Dr. Phil
In this life boy, it?s eat what you kill

(Instrumental)
(Repeat Chorus)
