Quiet - Jump Little Children

She came in the back door with

Her heart on her sleeve

If I had even noticed would’ve asked her to leave

But I was too far away from the scene of the crime

Just me and a cup of hot sleepytime

Reading the latest biography

Hoping that it might be someone like me

Just to find me a way out of my head

But let’s forget all that, cause it’s time for bed

She came in the back door with her heart in her hand

And she’s quiet as the old dusty baby grand

And I’m half asleep in the candlelight

That hot cup of tea did me just right

She’s slipping around through open doors

Two white socks on the hardwood floors

She sat herself down behind the keys

She played and she played as loud as she pleased

Whoever you are you’ve gone to far

Cause I need my precious peace and

Quiet

Open wide and you come inside

To disturb my precious peace and

Quiet

I love the way that you play

But I need my precious peace and

Quiet

I’d kick you out with my scream and shout

But I just can’t seem to do it

So I jumped out of bed with my heart in my throat

And I picked up my heels so I could get your goat

Cause I remember the last time you did this trick

You had me spooking around with a candlestick

Peace and quiet that’s what I had

But you can’t help being bad

Through the back door with your heart in your hand

You take your favorite seat behind the baby grand

She came in the back door with her heart on a string

She kicked off the dust and she made it sing

And I’m down the stairs in a squint of an eye

Just to see what’s up and see just why

Someone busted down my back door

And snuck across the kitchen floor

And is playing a tune while I’m counting sheep

It sure is pretty but I can’t sleep

Who do you think you are?(x12)

She came in the back door with her

Heart on her sleeve

If I had even noticed would’ve asked her to leave

But I was too far away from the scene of the crime

Just me and a cup of hot sleepytime

Reading the latest biography

Hoping that it might be someone like me

Just to find me a way out of my head

But let’s forget all that cause it’s time for bed
