Life could slip away in absent minded numbness I’m only sayin this ‘cuz I wish for the best When you always stay in self-incarceration I thinks it’s such a shame Don’t stay home this time no don’t stay home If he don’t have to he don’t want to Don’t stay home this time no don’t say no Oh how I’d like to diffuse your time bomb anger It’s screaming danger danger this kind of world Don’t care if you’re home so you better get some Don’t stay home this time no don’t stay home If he don’t have to he don’t want to Don’t stay home this time no don’t say no Everything I’m sayin’ you can dismiss Because I sat alone on this past Christmas I deserved to be alone But I guess I should have gone home Hey don’t break the mold kid just eat around it Yeah that’s what I did I’ll be running around the block For no apparent reason Somethin’ you’ll catch me doin’ in any season Gotta break a sweat man gotta go bust out Biddy by by by by Good-bye to the drought, yea Don’t stay home this time no don’t stay home If he don’t have to he don’t want to Don’t stay home this time no don’t say no Don’t stay home this time no don’t stay home If he don’t have to he don’t want to Don’t stay home this time no don’t stay home
