come on in to what is real and I will make a nice hot meal
you can turn the TV on, sit back and watch the game that's on
put your feet up on the chair and grab that blanket over there
I'll light a fire, stir the ***, don't get me wrong, it's what it's not

it's not that you are all that great but good enough, the hour is late
it's not that you are all that cold, but last I checked we're getting old
it's not that I am in the need of someone here to bathe and feed
a homeless, worse,  an invalid, a chatty friend or someone's kid

so come on in to what is real and I will make a nice hot meal and
you can turn the TV on, sit back watch the game that's on
put your feet up on the chair and grab that blanket over there
I'll light a fire, stir the ***, don't get me wrong, it's what it's  not

It's not that I invite your gassing, true we've seen our best years passing
Frankly I have much preferred one's tendencies like those deferred
and even though I'm not the type to get involved with TV hype
it's not that I'd could really care or even stare were you not there

so come on in to what is real, and I will make a nice hot meal and
you can put the TV on, sit back and watch game that's on
put your feet up on the chair and grab that blanket over there
I'll light a fire and stir the ***, don't get me wrong, it's what it's not

It's not that I am tired of being here alone, and never seeing
anyone of any kind, I might be lonely, but you'll find
that I am good at making due and if you think you have a clue
then any time you want the best of what it's not, please be my guest!
