Let the phone ring
Let's go back to sleep
Let the world spin outside out door
You're the only one that I wanna see
Tell your boss you're sick, hurry
Get back in I'm getting cold
Get over here and warm my hands up, boy
It's you they love to hold
And stop thinking about
What your sister said
And stop worrying about it
The cat's already been fed
Come on darling
Let's go back to bed
Put the phone machine on hold
Leave the dishes in the sink
Do not answer the door
It's you that I adore
I'm gonna give you some more
We'll sit on the front porch
The sun can warm my feet
You can drink you coffee
With sugar and cream
I'll drink my decaf herbal tea
Pretend we're perfect strangers
And that we never met
My how you remind me of a man
I used to sleep with
That's a face I'd never forget
And you can be Henry Miler
And I'll be Anais Nin
Except this time it'll be even better
We'll stay together in the end
Come on darling
Let's go back to bed
Put the phone machine on hold
Leave the dishes in the sink
Do not answer the door
For you I'd be poor-man's wife
I'm gonna give you some more
Let the phone ring
Let's go back to sleep
