C F G C
You and I we've had our problems but I think the counselor's right
F C C
A change in behavior patterns could save the romance in our lives
F G C
So let's load up the stationwagon, drive as far as we can get
F G C
Find ourselves a little Motel 6, and we'll make love like Tom Bodet
(chorus)
F G C
That's right we'll leave the light on, you draw the curtain by the door
F G
I'll day I love you in a monotone, mmm,mmm,mmm,
C
And we'll make love like before
F G C
Bring a bottle of champagne, ice it down in the sink
F
Use a plastic cup for an ashtray,
G C A# C
And leave our trash for the maids to clean
I know you've had your reservations about our love in the past
But if we lower our expectations, maybe it won't seem like such a test
So why don't you lock that door behind you
Come here and lay down by my side
And we'll give a whole new meaning to the words "It's checkout time"
(repeat chorus)
(spoken)
I sure am glad we took our marriage counselors advice and came here to this
Motel 6. It's kinda like our second honeymoon. I know it's not the Holiday
Hilton, but there's color TV and cable, and free coffee in the morning, and,
oh look, Karate Kid Part 3 is coming on HBO. Well, we'd better get started,
because you know how much I hate to miss the beginning of a movie.
That's right we'll leave the light on, you draw the curtain by the door
I'll say I love you in a monotone, mmm,mmm,mmm
And we'll make love on the floor
