my heart's not a hotel

when your headlights cut across my wall

yeah

i thought it might be you. lookin' for a place to fall

an' talkin' sweet

an' thinkin' small. seekin' out convenient arms

yeah

to rest in for a while. someone to keep you safe an' warm

while you ride out your latest storm. oh

my heart's not a hotel you can check in an' out of. it's not a

a temporary shelter

it's a home for someone's love. don't just come here when you're lonely knowing

full well

you won't 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 change

just leave the key

an' let me keep my dignity. 'cause my heart's not a hotel you can check in an' out of. it's not a

a temporary shelter

it's a home for someone's love. don't just come here when you're lonely knowing

full well

you won't stay

'cause i don't have the strength tonight to turn you away. no don't just come here when you're lonely knowing

full well

you won't stay

'cause i don't have the strength tonight to turn you away. i don't have the strength tonight to turn you away.
