Lyrics
I've been walking for four years
Haven't slept in five
I'm smellin' funny
And I'm tired
I used to have a home
I used to have a bed
Got myself kicked out
Didn't pay the rent
Let me sleep in your bedroom
Let me wash at your sink
I've learned my lessons
Let me in, let me in
I know you like to live alone
I know you feel safe
But I'm not looking to harm you
Just want to rest
And maybe it'll work out
I'll fix up around the house
And then maybe you'll prepare a meal
Let me sleep in your bedroom
Let me wash at your sink, yeah
I've learned my lessons
Let me in, let me in
Let me sleep in your bedroom
Let me wash at your sink
I've learned my lessons
Let me in, let me in
