The kids were flying today

Don't call her girlfriend, we were saying

And I was locked into a frame

But listening again

Don't wait up for me I know what God wants

Raise the roof, don't pay rent

Raise the roof, yeah

I was purified today

And feeling now I can be pretty

And he is feeling very rude

But listening again

I hear my pillow screaming find him

Raise the roof, don't pay rent

Raise the roof, yeah

He wants if she decks out with the(?)

Quiet down all you noisy girls

He loves those noisy girls

He wants to beat them up, he loves them so much

Don't call me girlfriend, don't call me girl

This is no light thunder

My ears are humming with him

And he's dancing 'cause it's raining

This is no light fever

And my face is burning with him

And I'm building, but I'm losing

(Raise the roof)

If I leave you (Don't pay rent)

Please don't call me back again

You know where I stay (Raise the roof)

In my launing room (Get high, get lost, get low)

With that clause is

(Raise the roof and space out the proof and pick up the roof)

I keep everything of yours (and raise the fences)

You keep me (Raise the rent and pick up the roof)

Because I called you love

(Raise the roof and raise the roses)

That's the music, you know

From the box you gave to me long ago

When my room was cold

Now the sun falls on through the window

When she warms the wood

I can sit here all day with you
