Don't Laugh

I never thought I could live here on my own

But then I guess everybody'got to live somewhere

Four tins of paint made this our home

Oh I got less on the walls than I got in my hair

When we moved in here the dog was still a pup

Oh do you remember the time he chewed those curtains that we found?

I laughed the day you put them up

The day you left I tore them down

Don't laugh, don't even sigh

I touched your skin last night

But your half of the bed was empty

And so I guess I must have dreamt it

I don't know why

Don't laugh, don't even try

I touched your skin last night

I didn't fall asleep til morning

And then the next day I couldn't stop yawning

Oh how I try

And these bedroom walls are paper thin

You took a side in every neighbor's row

And those kids next door make such a din

But sitting here it seems ever so quiet now
