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.
