Mailman came while you were out

I was sleeping at your house

Letter from your lover with an Ottawa address

Filled the shower up with steam

Find out what you mean to him

Before I hand it over

 I'll push the flap back down and press

 Yes, I'll leave everything the way I found it

 I'll bet I'm the best houseguest

Houseguest you ever had

 I'll bet I'm the best houseguest

Houseguest you ever had

I never leave my socks around

I always keep the TV down

x2 x2

And when I leave, I never leave a mess

We were resting on the couch

There was nothing much to watch

Other than my manners

And your waning graciousness

I eased your thumb off the remote

Placed my palms against your throats

The heat in here's infernal

And so's that entry in your journal

Yeah, it changed everything the day I found it

I bet I'm the best houseguest

Houseguest you ever had

 I'll bet I'm the best houseguest

Houseguest you ever had

 I've done things in your room

 You'd be ashamed to accuse me of

 It's just a tendency I have when certain people

Refuse me love

Refuse me love

Refuse me love

You refuse

I accuse

 Yes, and I leave everything the way I found it
