[Verse 1]
Doc, sit down, hear me out
This one’s wild, no joke
He tugged his cuff, he cleared his throat
Like he might split a yoke
Said, “Me and my wife got loose last night
With somebody from her side”
I wrote it down, kept poker-face
Though my eyebrows tried
[Pre-Chorus]
Then he leaned in close
Like a confession in a jar
Said she kissed the stranger’s neck
And vanished from the bar
[Chorus]
She ran off with a bed bug
A bed bug, can you believe?
She left the sheets in a suitcase
And took my peace from me
She ran off with a bed bug
I thought, “Man, that’s too absurd”
Then I found out it was a woman
A woman bed bug
[Verse 2]
He said she fit right in her purse
Tiny shoes, sharp grin
He found a note on the motel lamp
“Don’t wait up for me, hon”
I asked him, “Sir, are you alright?”
He said, “Doc, I’m half amused”
“My wife chose a bug with better plans
And better legs to use”
[Pre-Chorus]
Then he sighed so hard
It shook the picture frame
Said, “I can live with what she did
But that bug had a name”
[Chorus]
She ran off with a bed bug
A bed bug, can you believe?
She left the sheets in a suitcase
And took my peace from me
She ran off with a bed bug
I thought, “Man, that’s too absurd”
Then I found out it was a woman
A woman bed bug
[Bridge]
So I wrote “loss” in careful ink
And “attachment” in the chart
But I crossed out every normal guess
When he laughed with a broken heart
He said, “Doc, love’s a crooked road”
With crumbs along the seams
“Sometimes what bites you in the night
Has bigger plans than dreams”
[Chorus]
She ran off with a bed bug
A bed bug, can you believe?
She left the sheets in a suitcase
And took my peace from me
She ran off with a bed bug
I thought, “Man, that’s too absurd”
Then I found out it was a woman
A woman bed bug
[Outro]
I nodded once, I kept my face
Like this was Wednesday’s norm
But I wrote one thing in the file
“Love can come in strange forms”
