Lyrics
Intro
I left the porch light on againLike I always do when I ain't sureIf you're coming backOr just circling the block
Verse 1
You talk like a Sunday morningThen you love like a Friday nightKeep your hat on in my kitchenLike you might not stay till lightI know that truck by the rattleI know that knock on the doorYou look sorry in my drivewayTill you ain't sorry no more
Pre‑Chorus
I should make you turn aroundI should let that engine dieBut you smile like you still mean itAnd I'm tired of being wise
Chorus
If you're gonna love me, love meDon't just pass through like a stormDon't leave your jacket on my chairIf you won't leave it warmI ain't asking for a diamondI just need you to decideAre you staying in this kitchenOr you heading for the highway line
Verse 2
Mama said don't trust a sweet mouthWhen it comes with dusty bootsSaid a man can sound like foreverAnd still be passing throughI poured two glasses anywayLet the ice go soft and thinIf you're gonna waste my eveningYou can waste the good stuff then
Pre‑Chorus
I should make you turn aroundI should let that engine dieBut you smell like summer lightningAnd I'm tired of being right
Chorus
If you're gonna love me, love meDon't just pass through like a stormDon't leave your jacket on my chairIf you won't leave it warmI ain't asking for a diamondI just need you to decideAre you staying in this kitchenOr you heading for the highway line
Bridge
I can do lonely prettyI been practicing for yearsBut don't you sit there half in loveAnd call it being here
Final Chorus
If you're gonna love me, love mePut your hat down on the floorKiss me like the morning afterNot like you're late for the doorI ain't asking for a promiseCarved in some old county signJust don't look like you love meIf you're already gone in your mind
Outro
quiet guitarPorch light's still burningYour truck's still warmI lock the door anywayAnd I leave you to the dark
