D-DU-UDU

There's someone at my frontdoor

and he's raising his voice: is there anybody home?

Now there's a question I like,

kept me up and I have been thinking all night long.

Summertime gonna cut my hair now,

and ask a friend to die it red.

Spent my days watching girls in the park;

I'm just trying to fill my head.

Yes I hate to admit

but I miss you like hell miss you every day.

And yes I hate to be asked

cause everytime they do I don't know what to say

I need someone to come and save me,

when I'm wrapped up in my world.

Need someone to poke a finger

in the places where it hurts.

Baby it's driving me mad I need your warm hands back on my head,

hear you say: it's alright alright

I felt myself slipping back

I could feel the old man grab me by the throat.

He slowly squeezed out the air

made me look like a fool, chokin' every word

I know tonight I lost the fight,

pulled the blankets way over my head.

Had the old man stand guard at the door,

checked for ghosts under my bed,

baby it's driving me mad and I don't think I can take it anymore.

Hey old man can we cease the war.
