No Vacancy

When I was down and had no love 
there was a sign on my heart's door 
it simply read, "unoccupied" 
but it's not hanging there anymore. 
The reason is that I found someone 
who gave true love to me 
she then placed a new sign on my heart 
which reads, "no vacancy." 
Well since then others have tried to come in 
but I politely turn them away 
because my new love is the queen of my heart 
and she says that shes here to stay. 
Since she has entered into my life 
things have not been the same 
and under her sign, "no vacancy" 
she has boldly etched her name. 
She has put a new bounce into my step 
she has put a sparkle into my eye 
thus I prevent all others from coming in 
no matter how hard they try. 
My sweetheart gives me all that I need 
she is everything that I ever wished for 
so do not come knocking if you can read 
for there's a sign on my heart's door. 
Please make sure you see this sign 
before you come flirting with me 
it was firmly put there by the true love of mine 
and it reads, "no vacancy."
