Mid-Day Break-In

Mid-Day Break-In Was just about noon Normal sort a day Told someone new To come our way Suspected not a thing Blind to the more Had a good dead-bolt Lock'n my door I don't sparkle much Nothing to draw near I ain't real fancy So it would appear I had nothing to fear I try not to attract Nobody noticed before Besides, I had a good deadbolt Lock'n my door In some strange twist You couldn't resist You dared travel my way Staked me out Broke-in mid-day Now you just hold on a sec I say that it ain't fair My door was secure You, you broke into here Didn't even care I had nothing to impart Just broke-in anyway And ran off with my heart Yes, it was you No one else would dare The evidence clear Your prints left there I said hold on, it ain't right All those years I been fine You had to pick a door You had to choose mine Was just around noon Knew I fallen in deep When I desired not food Cared not for sleep Just standing here staring At my broken door Lock and heart alike Throbbing on the floor Was a good dead-bolt Kept me safe for years Then you broke in mid-day And left me in tears What I once knew I don't know anymore Mid-day break-in How'd you get in my door?
