Love Needs a Holiday

She was circling the holiday inn
Just about to go 'round again
When her cell phone rang
And it was him sayin', "room 183"

They've never done this before
But when he met her at the door
They broke out smiling 'cause they were sure
That this is what they need
She said, "mama's got the kids"
And he said, "we got the room for the weekend"

They love their kids and their house
And that dog in the yard
Oh and their neighbors for the most part
They love each other but it's hard to be lovers
When life gets in the way
Sometimes love needs a holiday

He hung out the 'do not disturb'
To shut out the rest of the world
48 hours of just him and her
You can't get this at home

She pulled the covers back and
He said, "yeah i'm in to that"
They flopped down together and took a nap
No, you can't get this at home
They woke up in each other's arms
And that's where they spent the rest of the weekend

They love their kids and their house
And that dog in the yard
Oh and their neighbors for the most part
They love each other but it's hard to be lovers
When life gets in the way
Sometimes love needs a holiday

Room service dinner with candles and wine
A night with no homework and no baby crying
They hold each other like they used to do
He whispers, "girl, i've missed you"

They love their kids and their house
And that dog in the yard
Oh and their neighbors for the most part
They love each other but it's hard to be lovers
When life gets in the way
Sometimes love needs a holiday, needs a holiday

He hung out the 'do not disturb'
Love needs a holiday
(love needs a holiday)
Just shut out the rest of the world
Love needs a holiday
(love needs a holiday)
