Ollie Stephens - The Tramp Lyrics

He's waiting up he's waiting for you
Never calls you but he's tempted to
He's staring at the phone, he wants to get you home but his heart is torn in two
Its not the first time you've stepped out of line but he sees the good in you

Laa la da do da, la da da, ooh ooh
He loves you way more than you know
He deserves much better but he won't go
He's loved you all your life before you were his wife maybe you married too young
But there's more to it than that, he wants to get you back before the damage is done

He's alone at home tonight
And he needs to know that you are alright
He's alone at home tonight
And he needs to know that you are alright

You stumble home with no shoes on
It's getting close to the break of dawn
There's rips in your skirt, your nails are filled with dirt and your hair is soaked in gin
There's bruises on your knees, you can't find your keys so he has to let you in

He's alone at home tonight
And he needs to know that you are alright
He's alone at home tonight
And he needs to know that you are alright

When he was just seventeen
He witnessed something that he never should have seen
His mother ruined his father's world
Since then he's found it hard to trust another girl

He's alone at home tonight
And he needs to know that you are alright
He's alone at home tonight
And he needs to know that you are alright

He goes
La da-da da, da-da da, da-da da, da da da da da da da
La da-da da, da-da da, da-da da, da da da da da da da
La da-da da, da-da da, da-da da, da da da da da da da
La da-da da, da-da da, da-da da, da da da da da da da
