This Lady's Not Home Today

Got a house on the hill

And it’s constantly filled

With a number of passing acquaintances

But I’m tired and spent

From all the friendships well meant

And the rents getting high on my maintenance, Lord

But, why should I worry about leave’n ‘em there

When nobody’s home when you need ‘em

Even after you love ‘em and feed ‘em

Say do not disturb

This lady’s not home today

Well I can’t be a fool

Though I’d like to come through

With a satin edged blanket for comfort

But, I got needs of my own

I’ve been to long left alone

Without somebody shoulder’n my hurt, Lord

But, why should I worry about leave’n them there

When nobody’s home when you need ‘em

Even after you love ‘em and feed ‘em, Oh Lord

Say do not disturb me

This lady’s not home today

Time off for good behavior

Time off to be my savior

Stay in touch with your indecision

So I’ll have something to return to

After this brief intermission

Keep the night light to see by

Remind you of me

By The morning I’ll be your protection

But right now I’m relighting my fuses

And tending to my bruises

Trying to find my direction, Lord

Why should I care

About leave’n ‘em there

When nobody’s home when you need ‘em,

Even after you love ‘em and feed ‘em, Oh Lord

Say do not disturb me this lady’s not home

Today

Never meant to love you

Oh do not disturb me

This lady’s not home

Today
