[Verse 1]
I like to go out every now and then
I can't wait to do it again
But I haven't had the time
Lately
I like to step out every once in a while
I kind of like to do it in style
I haven't had the time
Lately
[Pre-Chorus]
Lately I've been staying at home
(Staying at home, staying at home)
Working the crosswords, turn off the phone
(Turn off the phone, turn off the phone)
[Chorus]
And I dream I'm on vacation
Because I like the way that sounds
It's a perfect occupation
For me
I don't mind being by myself
If there's no one else around
It's the last good time in town
[Verse 2]
Well, I could stand up straight, get a real job
Stay up late with the same old mob
But it hasn't crossed my mind
Lately
Put on a suit, work downtown
Then come up when the sun goes down
No, I haven't had the time
Lately
[Pre-Chorus]
