Dear Landlord

Dear landlord, please don't put a price on my soul

My burden is heavy, dear

And my dreams are beyond my control

Oh yes, they are

But when that steamboat whistle blows

Oh, honey I'm gonna give you everything I ever had to give, yeah

And I do hope that you can receive it well

I know that it must be dependin' on the way you feel that you live

Whoa, landlord, please heed these words that I try to speak

I know you must have suffered much

But honey you ain't alone, you ain't so unique

No no no, no no

All of us at times, I said, we might have worked too hard

Or too heavy, too fast and way too rushed, yeah

But everyone can fill their life with anything

You can look around, but baby, you just cannot touch

Whoa, my dear landlord, please don't you dismiss my case

I'm not about to argue with you

And honey I'll tell ya, I'm ain't gonna move to no other place

'Cause I just ain't gonna do it, no no no

Each of us must have our own special gift

Oh honey, don't you know that it's got to be true

And if you don't underestimate me, I'll tell you one thing

I said that I won't underestimate you, no
