home sweet home

written by bam powell


If you're a rotten apple
Don't expect nobody's face
Come bobbin' in the water for you
If you're a greasy spoon
You're gonna learn real soon
Ain't gonna be no pretty face alickin' on you
Be sweet as a lemon rind
You know where you be spendin' most of your time's at
Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home (yeah, I'll be stayin' at)
Home Sweet Home
Right where ya belong

You say the party is over
You say you didn't have a real good time, no
That pretty blonde hair on over there in the corner
Stared at all the night
You went in, you coulda been tearing up a baby
But you won't even give 'em a smile, naw naw no
You can't get somethin' sweet if you lookin' real sour
Can't stare straight ahead, with you head up

If you're a rotten apple
Don't expecta nobody's face
Come bobbin' in the water for you
If you're a greasy spoon
You're gonna learn real soon
Ain't gonna be no pretty face alickin' on you
You're sweet as a lemon rind
You know where you be spendin' most of your time's at
Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home (yeah, I'll be stayin' at)
Home Sweet Home
Right where I belong

You park in fronta your mirror
You say that on a Saturday night
Your hair's all curled and nail's all painted
Tell yourself you're lookin' just fine
she's tearin' up
While you just slug around in your room
Yeah, you could be blowin' like a hurricane
Athumpin' like a rabbit
You're too cool now baby
Strictly outta...

If you're a rotten apple
Don't expecta nobody's face
Come bobbin' in the water for you
If you're a greasy spoon
You're gonna learn real soon
Ain't gonna be no pretty face alickin' on you
If you're sweet as a lemon rind
You know where you be spendin' most of your time's at
Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home (yeah, I'll be stayin' at)
Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home (yeah, I'll be stayin' at)
Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home
