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 wont 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 wont 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 wont stay
Cause I don't have the strength tonight
To turn you away
I don't have the strength tonight
To turn you away
