Don't Ask How I Got In

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.
