[Verse 1]
You don't know how I've enjoyed these past few hours
The candlelight, the dinner, and the drinks
Your lips were never quite so warm and tender
I hold you close and I can't help but think
[Chorus 1]
If I lived here I'd be home now
I'd take off my shoes, sit down and just relax
If I lived here I'd be home now
But I don't, and he does, and he'll soon be coming back
[Verse 2]
I wish that was my name on your mailbox
And I could play and tussle with the kids
And we'd all be together in the mornin'
Why did he meet you before I did?
[Chorus 2]
'Cause if I lived here I'd be home now
We could stay like this forever and a day
If I lived here I'd be home now
But I don't, and he does, and I'd best be on my way
