[Verse]
Dear Landlord
Please don't put a price on my soul
My burden is heavy, dear
And my dreams are beyond my control
Oh yes, they are

But when that steam-boat whistle blows
Oh, honey I'm going to give you everything I ever had to give, yeah
And I do hope that you can receive it well
I know that it must be depending on the way you feel that you live

Whoa, Landlord
Please heed these words that I try to speak
I know you must have suffered much
But honey you ain't alone, you aren't so unique
No, no, no, no, no

All of us at times, I said, we might have worked too hard
Or too heavy, too fast and way too rushed, yeah
But everyone can fill their life with anything
You can look around, but baby you just cannot touch

Whoa, my Dear Landlord
Please don't you dismiss my case
I'm not about to argue with you
And honey I'll tell you, I'm not going to move to no other place
Because I'm just not going to do it, no, no, no
[Outro]
Each of us has his own special gift
Oh honey, don't you know that it's got to be true
And if you don't underestimate me, I'll tell you one thing
I said that I won't underestimate you, no!
