I have a feeling it\u2019s gonna be<\/p>\n
a little cold at home tonight.<\/p>\n
My baby will make sure<\/p>\n
I feel a little draft, alright.<\/p>\n
She\u2019ll be a little sore<\/p>\n
And want to even the score.<\/p>\n
Yes, it\u2019s gonna be a little<\/p>\n
Cold at home tonight.<\/p>\n
—–O—–<\/p>\n
Your flippin through the pages of my heart.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s all you\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n
Right from the very start.<\/p>\n
If ever, you take the time<\/p>\n
to read each and every line,<\/p>\n
there would be no doubt.<\/p>\n
I loved you from the start.<\/p>\n
—–O—–<\/p>\n
Searching for love<\/p>\n
But, it never comes.<\/p>\n
Bait the path.<\/p>\n
Right to the gate.<\/p>\n
The gate is locked.<\/p>\n
Why hesitate??<\/p>\n
Searching for love<\/p>\n
But, it never comes.<\/p>\n
Trying again, with other ones.<\/p>\n
Get so far<\/p>\n
but, always turn back.<\/p>\n
Somewhere along the way<\/p>\n
I lose my track.<\/p>\n
—–O—–<\/p>\n
Papa, why did you leave?<\/p>\n
All Mama does is cry.<\/p>\n
I say not to grieve.<\/p>\n
Mama just gives a sigh.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m too small to be head of house.<\/p>\n
Though I try and try.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t even catch the mouse.<\/p>\n
All Mama does is cry.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m really scared<\/p>\n
and I\u2019m not lying.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m gonna hug my T.V.<\/p>\n
till Mama quits crying.<\/p>\n
—–O—–<\/p>\n
I tiptoe through the softness of your love.<\/p>\n
Afraid to make ripples where I go.<\/p>\n
But, I know that darkness is to the light<\/p>\n
as hate is to love.<\/p>\n
So, I know all is well.<\/p>\n
Though, I am moving slowly.<\/p>\n
