The Neighbors - Jonathan Richman

Jonathan it's late don't you think that I should go

Naw we were just starting to talk now

It was just getting good don't you know

But if I leave here in the morning Yeah

What will the neighbors tell your wife

Well my wife knows me by now

So there's no need to let the neighbors run my life

No no need to let the neighbors run my life no no

Well it would look suspicious

And I know why they'd want to know

They love my wife but oh

They don't want to hurt her and so

If that's all they see

I wouldn't blame 'em let them go and tell my wife

'Cause my wife should know me by now

So there's no need to let the neighbors run my life

No no no need to let the neighbors run my life no no

Here we are down the street

Here we are hand in hand Yeah so

You're close to me won't people misunderstand

That's fair yeah they could

If that's all they see

I wouldn't blame them if they go and tell my wife

But my wife should know me by now

So there's no need to let the neighbors run my life

No no need to let the neighbors run my life no no
