Come in and lock the door
Cause I wanna be with you

So when the goin's tough

Cause this love is strong enough to stay around

They can't take this fortress down
These people talk too much
I'm a conversation piece
We can't let 'em split us up
Cause I wanna be with you

And you're more than trailer trash
And a power too big for us
Has left me here with you
