I built this house
With my own hands
But she just came
And heard the plans
She found the safe
And cracked the code
She grabbed the goods
And hit the road

And I'm
Feeling glum
Oh, oh, girl
You're the one

Who shut off my electricity
Explained we just lack chemistry
And on the walls and on the shelves
She hung up pictures of herself

And I'm keeping one
Oh, oh, girl
You're the one

That makes it hard to
Lock my doors at night
Even my fire alarms don't work right
And as I try to sleep I
Glance next doors
And all I see is his lips touching yours
Oh girl

I will dig a hole and label it love
Trick her to fall in from above
Strategically placed at the front door
I'll coax her to come back to get more

And now
I'm feeling dumb
Oh, oh, girl
You're the one

That makes it hard to
Lock my doors at night
Even my fire alarms don't work right
And as I try to sleep I
Glance next doors
And all I see is his lips touchings yours
Oh girl

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
