My Heart's Not a Hotel

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...
