The walls that surround us
Are slowly crumbling down
But the heart of this foundation
Is still on solid ground
Just need some renovation
And a lot of TLC
And a long night of loving
Is all that we both need
So roll the shades down
Lock the doors up tight
Turn on the code-a-phone
If the door bell rings
We'll just stay in bed
And pretend nobody's home
Let the neighbors think
We moved away
Or forgot to pay the rent
There ain't nothing wrong
With this old house
It just needs a little home improvement
Every day we go our separate ways
To make our dreams come true
But it ain't worth the sacrifice
If we're giving up me and you
We gotta hold on tighter than tight
To the ties that make us strong
And get back to the roots
That made this house a home
Oh, roll the shades down
Lock the doors up tight
Turn on the code-a-phone
If the door bell rings
We'll just stay in bed
And pretend nobody's home
Let the neighbors think
We moved away
Or forgot to pay the rent
There ain't nothing wrong
With this old house
It just needs a little home improvement
Huh, roll the shades down
Lock the doors up tight
Turn on the code-a-phone
If the door bell rings
We'll just stay in bed
And pretend nobody's home
Let the neighbors think
We moved away
Or forgot to pay the rent
There ain't nothing wrong
With this old house
It just needs a little home improvement
