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. 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. 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...
