I leave your side of the bed empty in case you claim it
I have a feeling you won't make it to reservations
I'll still save 'em
I have a seat at the table case you wanna join me now
The meal has gone sour from hours and times that you let me down

I built a home for you, sorry you couldn't stay
Some vacation island, some scandalous getaway
I built a home for you, you were just a visitor, babe
At least tell me darling then, how was your holiday?

Ah, ah, ah, ooh
Ah, ah, ah, ah

I have this creepin' suspicion I'll always hate August
I have a feelin' I'll always resent how we lost this
You just tossed it
Each time you come back, think maybe I finally got to you
I built the garden, you picked out my daisies for someone new

I built a home for you, sorry you couldn't stay
Some vacation island, some scandalous getaway
I built a home for you, you were just a visitor, babe
At least tell me darling then, how was your holiday?

Ah, ah, ah, ooh
Ah, ah, ah, ah

(I finally got to you)
Ah, ah, ah, ooh
(I built a home for you)
(You just tossed, you just tossed it)

I built a home for you, you were just a visitor
