She was circlin’ the Holiday Inn,
Just about to go ’round again,
When her cell phone rang and it was him sayin’: “Room 183.”
They’d 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 lover’s when life gets in the way.
Sometimes love needs a holiday.

He hung up the “Do Not Disturb”,
To shut out the rest of the world.
Forty-eight hours of just him and her: you can’t get this at home.
She pulled the covers back an’ 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 eachother’s arms,
An’ that’s where they spent the rest of the weekend.

They love their kids and their house,
And that dog in the yard,
Whoa, and their neighbors, for the most part.
They love each other,
But it’s hard to be lover’s when life gets in the way.
Sometimes love needs a holiday.

Room service; dinner with candles and wine.
A night with no homework an’ no baby cryin’.
They hold each other like they used to do.
An’ he whispers: “Girl, I’ve missed you.”

They love their kids and their house,
And that dog in the yard,
Whoa, and their neighbors, for the most part.
They love each other,
But it’s hard to be lover’s when life gets in the way.
Sometimes love needs a holiday.
Needs a holiday.

He hung up the “Do Not Disturb”,
Love needs a holiday. (Love needs a holiday.)
To shut out the rest of the world,
Love needs a holiday. (Love needs a holiday.)
