Heywood Banks – Pretending I'm Not Home lyrics

Oh I know it's you that's callin'
Ringin' up my telephone
But I've chosen not to answer
I'm pretending I'm not home

Though I know it's you for certain
On my porch and all alone
I still quickly shut the curtain
I'm pretending I'm not home

And though I hear you call my name
And knock knock on the old front door
I made sure the door was locked

I'm lyin' on the floor
Behind the davenport
Between womb and tomb
People just won't leave you alone!

So I'm starin' at the ceilin'
And pretending I'm not home.

Lookie there I guess my lights went out
So I can't read your little note
Go on back and tell those people "Go away!"
I'm pretending I'm not home

And though I hear you call my name
And knock knock on the old front door
I made sure the door was locked

So I can hear you shout,
"Hey, let the hostage out!"
Boy, you sure seem so upset
Talkin' through the megaphone

While I'm creepin' by the curtain
And pretending
I'm just crawlin' through the kitchen
And pretending
I'm just crouchin' in the cupboard
And pretending I'm not home!
