"The Neighbors" lyrics
"The Neighbors"
Jonathan it's late, don't you think that I should go
Naw we were just starting to talk now
It was just getting good don't you know
But if I leave here in the morning. Yeah
What will the neighbors tell your wife?
Well, my wife knows me by now
So there's no need to let the neighbors run my life
No, no need to let the neighbors run my life, no no
Well, it would look suspicious
And I know why they'd want to know
They love my wife but oh
They don't want to hurt her and so
If that's all they see
I wouldn't blame 'em let them go and tell my wife
'Cause my wife should know me by now
So there's no need to let the neighbors run my life
No, no, no need to let the neighbors run my life, no no
Here we are down the street
Here we are hand in hand. Yeah, so
You're close to me won't people misunderstand?
That's fair, yeah, they could
If that's all they see
I wouldn't blame them if they go and tell my wife
But my wife should know me by now
So there's no need to let the neighbors run my life
No, no need to let the neighbors run my life, no no

The Lemonheads - "The Outdoor Type" Always had a roof above me
Always paid the rent
I never, set foot inside a tent
Couldn’t build a fire to save my life
I lied about being, the outdoor type
I’ve never slept out underneath the stars...
