[00:02.95]Got a house on the hill
[00:05.22]
[00:06.04]And it's constantly filled
[00:08.52]
[00:09.14]With a number of passing aquaintences
[00:14.26]
[00:15.62]But I'm tired and spent
[00:18.21]
[00:18.84]From all the friendships well meant
[00:21.33]
[00:22.04]And the rents getting high
[00:24.91]On my maintenance  Lord
[00:27.90]
[00:29.33]But  why should
[00:30.35]I worry about leaving 'em there
[00:34.66]When nobody's home when you need 'em
[00:39.62]
[00:41.55]Even after you love 'em and feed 'em
[00:46.20]
[00:48.14]Say do not disturb
[00:50.28]
[00:50.83]This lady's not home today
[00:56.42]
[01:00.56]Well I can't be a fool
[01:02.96]
[01:03.49]Though I'd like to come through
[01:06.02]
[01:06.61]With a satin edged blanket for comfort
[01:11.41]
[01:13.03]But  I got needs of my own
[01:15.62]
[01:16.21]I've been to long left alone
[01:18.87]
[01:19.86]Without somebody shoulder'n my hurt  Lord
[01:25.26]
[01:26.78]But  why should
[01:28.01]I worry about leave'n them there
[01:32.07]When nobody's home when you need 'em
[01:37.17]
[01:38.75]Even after you love
[01:40.99]'Em and feed 'em  Oh Lord
[01:44.81]
[01:45.56]Say do not disturb me
[01:48.62]This lady's not home today
[01:53.99]
[01:57.27]Time off for good behavior
[02:02.62]
[02:03.36]Time off to be my savior
[02:09.77]Stay in touch with your indecision
[02:15.83]So I'll have something to return to
[02:21.33]
[02:22.00]After this brief intermission
[02:26.98]
[02:28.99]Keep the night light to see by
[02:31.74]
[02:33.00]Remind you of me by
[02:35.98]The morning I'll be your protection
[02:40.44]But right now I'm relighting fuses
[02:44.70]
[02:45.53]And tending to my bruises
[02:48.65]Trying to find my direction  Lord
[02:53.85]
[02:55.18]Why should I care
[02:56.94]
[02:57.91]About leave'n 'em there
[03:00.83]When nobody's home
[03:03.31]
[03:04.28]When you need 'em  oh Lord
[03:13.00]
[03:13.72]Say do not disturb me this
[03:17.22]Lady's not home today
