When your headlights cut across my wall
Yeah, I thought it might be you
Looking for a place to fall
An´ talking sweet, an´ thinking small

Seeking 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
Because 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

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
Because 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
Because I don´t have the strength tonight to turn you away
I don´t have the strength tonight to turn you away
