My house
Is so far from your one, hon
Nothing to spend my paper currency on
The big man said
"City life, kid you're in the city for good"
Ain't allowed to step foot out of my neighbourhood, oh but

I don't mind
I don't mind

'Cause when I see you looking back over the line like that
I wanna be someone you've never seen before
You're gonna make me run for miles
Oh, from my house
Yeah, when I see you looking at me on the line like that
I wanna be somewhere I'm not allowed to go
But I'm gonna run for miles
Over from my house

Such a lovely building
Microwave oven and a hot tub to chill in
You could call me up if you got something to say
Well, how can I have something to say?
I can only get out of here once today, ay-ay-ay-ay

I don't mind
I don't mind

'Cause when I see you looking back over the line like that
I wanna be someone you've never seen before
You're gonna make me run for miles
Oh, from my house
Yeah, when I see you looking at me on the line like that
I wanna be somewhere I'm not allowed to go
But I'm gonna run for miles
Over from my house

You could run a mile
Or you could stay for good (Yes, you could)
You could run a mile
Or you could stay for good

(My house)
(My house, my house)
(My house, my house)
(My house)

It was a pleasure chatting with you this morning
Have a nice day!
