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