From the recording She's Moving In
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She said it so delicately
It was late at night, it was half past three
She said, I can call a cab
Or you could drive me
And so I did, and I must admit
I liked that arrangement quite a bit
And one night turned into two
And then into three
And every time she comes through the door
I finding out a little bit more
My place belongs a little less to me
[chorus]
She's moving in
I guess that's alright
She's moving in
It was supposed to be just one night
But her stuff's all over now
and my stuffs no longer allowed
Oh, she's moving in
[Verse 2]
those bedsheets on the window, there's curtains there now
There's towels in the bathroom, they got there somehow
The beer's gone from the fridge, empties and all
And there's smells in my place I don't recognize
When I went to the door, to my surprise
The picture I won from the carnival's down from the wall
She's got spices and flowers and stuff for her hair
My bathroom, I've stopped even going in there
Kitchen, the dishes, disappeared from the sink
In the bathroom there's things I'm not sure what they are
I'm finding myself more at home in my car
She's Looking for paint for the walls, some shade of pink
[chorus]
'Cause she's moving in
I guess that's alright
She's moving in
It was supposed to be just one night
But her stuff's all over now
I guess I should have guessed by now
Oh, she's moving in
[Verse 4]
So I'm not sure I like what's been done to my pad
So I looked up on Craigslist, checked the want ads
I found a place for an extra dollar or two
Now my picture's back up on the wall by the door
There's no more strange stuff in the can anymore
Moved to my new place with only a carload or two
And when she came home and saw I was gone
She called on my cell and asked what was wrong
I told her I like things better, slightly askew
So she asked me to talk, I said come on over here
There's pizza in the fridge alongside the beer
She asked, should I call a cab
Or could you drive me
[chorus]
Now she's moving in
It's happened again
She's moving in
I'm as stupid as sin
Now she's moving in
My options were few
We had a place
And now we have two
And my stuff's no longer allowed
I guess I should have guessed by now
[chorus]
Oh, she's moving in
Her stuff's by the door
I might have to move back
to the old place before
If this sounds like complaining to you
I drive every night right on cue
Oh, she's moving in
