Somebody done changed, somebody done changed the lock on that door 
Somebody done changed, they done changed the lock on that door 
'Cause the key I got won't fit that lock no more 
Now I came home last night about half past ten 
Tried to get the key in the lock but I couldn't get it in 
'Cause somebody done changed 
They done changed the lock on that door 
'Cause the key I got won't fit that lock no more 
I looked through the window to see what I could see 
She was talking to someone else 
I know it wasn't me 
She said, "daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, you don't have to go 
'Cause I done changed, I done changed that lock on my door" 
She changed the bed around, even painted the door 
She even changed the carpet, I mean on the floor 
My baby changed 
Oh she done changed the lock on my door 
'Cause the key I got won't fit that lock no more 
Well, I walked down the street, lookin' where I used to go 
She's got a mean black snake, and I can't go there no more 
My baby changed 
She done changed the lock on my door 
And the key I got won't fit that lock no more
