Jonathan Richman - The Neighbors lyrics

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
