Today I didn't leave the house But a friend came by for a visit Oh, why is it? I called my mom I called my dad I listened to some new records Anna had Oh, why is it? I hear your voice in every room But there's no one there There's no one whom I'd like to know but you Why is it? That I can tell That you see the world the way I do and I might as well Stay around to see If you can tell You're the one I wanna see And selfishly I need to know If you wanna See me Today I didn't leave the house Though the weather was rather exquisite Oh, why is it? I paid the phone bill I sent the rent I made a dent in Crime and Punishment But I still wanna know Why is it? I signed some 25-cent checks I forged my neighbor's name For the guy from FedEx But then I went back to bed Why is it? That I can tell That you see the world the way I do and I might as well Stay around to see If you can tell You're the one I wanna see And selfishly I need to know If you wanna See me
