The Uninvited Guest

She's burnin' like a cinder
I said, "I don't remember."
Volcana, yeah, she's ready to blow
I know I shoulda listened
I shoulda paid attention
I'll cut my loss and see how it goes

The more I talk, the more there's smoke
the other side of love
She won't be calmin' down, I know
a time bomb at the end of the road

When an Uninvited Guest
at your door, comes a knockin’
Stirring up a hornet's nest
the choice will be up to you
whether you win or lose
you can use your head now
or let your feelin's run away

I'm payin' at the counter
just mindin' my own business,
a guy comes up pulls out a knife
He says, "Give me your money,
'n don't try nothin' funny"
His buddy's/partner's walkin' up from behind

The best laid plans of mice and men
temper's running high
You take a chance that you think's right
You're at the wrong place at the wrong time
Anger didn't serve me,
Didn't think they'd hurt me,
The worst mistake I made in my life

When an Uninvited Guest
at your door, comes a knockin'
Messin' with your mind each time
don't let him in there?
the Uninvited Guest
I'm sayin', "Who knew?"
Emotional Distress, you see
the choice will be up to you
whether you win or lose
you can use your head now
or let your feelin's run away

Just one way to help us
cooler heads prevail us
nothin' else can save us
