I Left Something Turned on at Home
Love Ignites, Regret Beckons: Homebound Dilemma
Lyrics
Well boys I hate to leave good company
Expressing reluctance to leave enjoyable company
But my baby just called me on the phone
Received a call from his significant other
And from the sound of her voice, I simply have no choice
Based on her voice, feels compelled to go home
I left something turned on at home
Left something important turned on at home
Well I just put a quarter in the jukebox
Inserted a quarter into the jukebox
And it ain't halfway through my favorite song
Not even halfway through his favorite song
But if I don't leave right now my whole place might burn down
Fears his place might burn down if he doesn't leave
'Cause I left something turned on at home
Reiterates concern about something left on at home
It ain't the stove, it ain't the heater
Clarifies it's not the stove or heater causing worry
She's hotter and a whole lot sweeter
Describes his significant other as hotter and sweeter
And all day long she's been there alone
She has been alone all day
Right now her arms are open, the house is probably smokin'
Implies a longing for his presence, potential danger at home
'Cause I left something turned on at home
Repeats concern about leaving something on at home
Hey waitress could you cancel that order
Requests the waitress to cancel an order
But if it's too late I'll take it to go
If too late, prefers the order to go
Boys I gotta run 'fore somebody calls 911
Expresses urgency to leave before emergency services are called
'Cause I left something turned on at home
Reiterates concern about something left on at home
It ain't the stove, it ain't the heater
Reaffirms it's not the stove or heater causing worry
She's hotter and a whole lot sweeter
Describes his significant other as hotter and sweeter
And all day long she's been there alone
She has been alone all day
Right now her arms are open, the house is probably smokin'
Implies a longing for his presence, potential danger at home
'Cause I left something turned on at home
Repeats concern about leaving something on at home
Right now her arms are open, the house is probably smokin'
Reiterates the potential situation at home
'Cause I left something turned on at home
Repeats concern about leaving something on at home
Yeah I left something turned on at home
Affirms the presence of something left on at home
I left something turned on at home
Reiterates the presence of something left on at home
