when your headlights cut across my wall

yeah, i thought it might be you 

looking for a place to fall 

talking sweet and thinking small

seeking out convenient arms

yeah, and resting for a while

someone to keep you safe and warm

while you ride out your latest storm

oh



(chorus)

my heart's not a hotel

you can sheck in and out of 

it's not a tempary shelter 

it's a home for someone's love

don't just come here when you're lonely

knowing full an' well you wont stay 

'cause i don't have the strength tonight

to turn you away



oh don't let the dawn find me asleep

on a pillow of regret

take all my dreams,just leave the key

and let me keep my dignity

'cause



(chorus)



no don't come when you're lonely 

knowing full an' well you wont stay

'cause i don't have the strength tonight

to turn you away

i don't have the strength tonïght 

to turn you away
