Album: Hillbilly Deluxe
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 check in and out of
It's not a temporary shelter
It's a home for someone's love
Don't just come here when you're lonely
Knowing full an' 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 dreams, just leave the key
And let me keep my dignity, 'cause.
Chorus:
My heart's not a hotel
You can check in and out of
It's not a temporary shelter
It's a home for someone's love
Don't just come here when you're lonely
Knowing full an' well you won't stay
'Cause I don't have the strength tonight
To turn you away.
No don't come when you're lonely
Knowing full an' 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...
