I punched my buddy in the nose after lunch
Now I'm in trouble 'cause the dean saw the punch
He was tellin' things that were not true about her
So I let him have it in the cafeteria

Now I'm stayin' in, stayin' in
My, my baby's walkin' home with him
They passed my window hand-in-hand just then
But what can I do? 'cause I'm stayin' in

If she just knew what that son-of-a-gun said
I know she wouldn't be caught with him dead
She don't know what he has got up his sleeve
But she would find out if I could only leave

But I'm stayin' in, stayin' in
My, my baby's walkin' home with him
I did it then, and I'd do it again
I love her so, but I'm stayin' in
