Quiet

She came in the back door with her heart on her sleeve,
If I had even noticed would've asked her to leave,
But I was too far away from the scene of the crime,
Just me and a cup of hot sleepytime,
Reading the latest biography,
Hoping that it might be someone like me,
Just to find me a way out of my head,
But let's forget all of that, `cause it's time for bed.

She came in the back door with her heart in her hand,
And she's quiet as the old dusty baby grand,
And I'm half asleep in the candlelight,
That hot cup of tea, it did me just right,
She's slipping around through open doors,
Two white socks on the hardwood floors,
And she sat herself down behind the keys,
And she played and she played as loud as she pleased.

CHORUS

Whoever you are you've gone too far,
`Cause I need my precious peace and quiet.
Open wide and you come inside ,
To disturb my precious peace and quiet.
I love the way that you play,
But I need my precious peace and quiet.
I'd kick you out with my scream and shout,
But I just can't seem to do it.

So I jumped out of bed with my heart in my throat,
And I picked up my heels so I could get your goat,
`Cause I remember the last time you did this trick,
You had me spooking around with a candlestick.
Peace and quiet that's what I had,
But you can't help but being bad,
Through the back door with your heart in your hand,
You take your favorite seat behind the baby grand.

She came in the back door with her heart on a string,
She kicked off the dust and she made it sing,
And I'm down the stairs in a squint of an eye,
Just to see what's up and see just why.
Someone busted down my back door,
And snuck across the kitchen floor,
And is playing a tune while I'm counting sheep,
It sure is pretty but I can't sleep.

CHORUS

Who do you think you are? (x12)

She came in the back door with her heart on her sleeve,
If I had even noticed would've asked her to leave,
But I was too far away from the scene of the crime,
Just me and a cup of hot sleepytime,
Reading the latest biography,
Hoping that it might be someone like me,
Just to find me a way out of my head,
But let's forget all of that cause it's time for bed.
