A Check for Daniel Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey you (Hey), what did you do?
I'm waiting by the door like a dog
Wondering if you
Would come back to me
Where did you go? I'm here all alone
I'd really like you ring you
But I'm having trouble finding my phone
And that's why
[Chorus]
(I can't forget) A check for Daniel
(I must get) A check for Daniel
(I can't forget) A check for Daniel
[Verse 2]
The light's broke, the stairs are a joke
The ceiling's always leaking
And the kitchen's always filling up with smoke (Aw man)
Come back to me
I hate to get this feeling I get
I'd really love to stay here
But I'm having trouble paying my rent
And that's why
[Chorus]
(I can't forget) A check for Daniel
(I must get) A check for Daniel
(I can't forget) A check for Daniel
Because I really, really, really want to go home
[Chorus]
(I can't forget) A check for Daniel
(I must get) A check for Daniel
(I can't forget) A check for Daniel
(I can't forget) A check for Daniel
(I must get) A check for Daniel
(I can't forget) A check for Daniel
Because I really, really, really want to go home
Because I really, really, really want to go home
I really, really, really, really, really, really want to go
[Outro]
Whoa
Baby, come back to me
Oh, I want to go
Whoa
