I was watching, with one eye on the other side

I had fifteen people telling me to move, I got movin' on my mind

I found shelter, in some dolls turning wheels around

D

I've said 39 times that I love you to the beauty I have found

D

G

I've been thinking, of a little place down by the lake They've got a dirty old road leading up to the house, I wonder how long it will take Till we're alone, sitting on a front porch of that home Stompin' our feet on the wooden boards, never gotta worry about locking the door Well it's, one, two, three, four, take the elevator At the hotel Yorba, I'll be glad to see you later All they got inside is vacancy It might sound silly, for me to think childish thoughts like these But I'm so tired of acting tough, and I gonna do what I please Let's get married in a big cathedral by a priest Because if I'm the man that you love the most, you could say "I do" at least Well it's, one, two, three, four, take the elevator At the hotel Yorba I'll be glad to see you later All they got inside is vacancy And it's four, five six, seven, grab the umbrella All they got inside is vacancy
