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 tonight
to turn you away
