You walked in and I gave you some money
So you'll lie next to me and tell me you care
Tell me it's true

For sometimes I need another reason
To know that there is something more than just suffering,
Tonight it comes from you


But stay only til the time runs out
I don't ask anything more

And say something nice on your way out and don't forget the door!

I know that you have your needs

And being a music man I'm the poorest john
That you've ever had
But really I don't ask much,

Just say a few things and then you are free
With fifty bucks from me


But stay only til the time runs out
I don't want anything more
Just say something nice on your way out and don't forget the door!


Stay only til the time runs out
I don't want anything more

Just say something nice, and on your way out, don't forget the door
Don't forget the door


And so now I feel some nostalgia
When today I found out you met a rough end
How cruel is life!

Now I think back to that half hour
When you said all those things and I looked in your eyes
They were alive


You stayed past when the time ran out
And we got on just like friends

And to that I've thought back
From that day on til the bitter end!


Don't forget the door, don't forget the door!
