Don't Ask How I Got In

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished about 2 hours ago 1 min read

Verse 1

well the moon was high and the night was cold

and I wandered in like a story told

you were sleepin’ sweet in your flannel sheets

and I thought, “lord, this is cozy as it gets”

so I tiptoed soft like a lovesick fool

slid right in like it’s perfectly cool

and you opened one eye, lookin’ half confused

so I whispered, “baby, don’t ruin the mood”

Chorus

’cause I’m just tryin’ to snuggle, darlin’, that’s the plan

wrap my arms around you like your number‑one fan

all you gotta do is hug me back again

don’t start askin’ how I got into your house, babe

it ruins the moment

yeah, it ruins the moment

Verse 2

now your dog woke up and gave me the stare

like he’s thinkin’, “boy, you don’t live here”

but I scratched his ears and he let me stay

guess he figured I was harmless anyway

you said, “honey, this is weird, you know”

I said, “sure it is, but let’s just go slow”

then I pulled you close with a sheepish grin

said, “questions later, cuddles first — climb on in”

Chorus

’cause I’m just tryin’ to snuggle, darlin’, that’s the plan

wrap my arms around you like your number‑one fan

all you gotta do is hug me back again

don’t start askin’ how I got into your house, babe

it ruins the moment

yeah, it ruins the moment

Bridge

maybe someday I’ll explain the whole thing

how I wound up here with your pillow in a headlock swing

but tonight let’s skip the logic, skip the why and when

just let me be your mystery man of 2 a.m.

Final Chorus

’cause I’m just tryin’ to snuggle, darlin’, that’s the plan

wrap my arms around you like your number‑one fan

all you gotta do is hug me back again

don’t start askin’ how I got into your house, babe

it ruins the moment

yeah, it ruins the moment

so hush now, honey — let the cuddlin’ begin

If you want, I can lean it more honky‑tonk, more chaotic, more sweet, or more unhinged.
