"Landlord"

You're the landlord and the keeper of our love

You're the landlord and the keeper of our love

Here was a heart torn apart

Desperately in need of fixing

I never found a heart big enough

Let alone someone in whom I could trust

All of you, opened up to let me see

In your heart there was room enough for me, woo

You're the landlord and the keeper of our love

You're the landlord and the keeper of our love (well, well, well, well)

I had no place to go, left to wander aimlessly

Often I was asked to spend the night

Ooh, but my heart wouldn't let me, it didn't feel right

I don't know how or where you found the key

Ooh, but you unlocked every door inside of me

You're the landlord and the keeper of our love

You're the landlord and the keeper

Who'll come to see me when I just pick up the phone

Who'll rush right over when I need to cut the heat on

And when my tears are flowing down the drain

I don't need no plumber 'cause he can unstop the pain

He's found the treasure and all my security

Everybody on the block knows

That I'm proud he found the key

Oh, you're the landlord and the keeper of our love

Our love, you know, everybody knows it

Oh, you're the landlord and the keeper of our love

You got that key to unlock that door in me

You're the landlord and the keeper of our love

Our love, our sweet, sweet love

You're the landlord and the keeper

You're the landlord and the keeper

You're the landlord and the keeper

You're the landlord and the keeper
