[Verse 1]
Oh it’s someone’s birthday
And someone’s praying for the day they find the one
Mama’s home again
But no one’s waiting by the door to help her get in

Screaming baby, oh screaming baby
I don’t want it
I wish someone good could take it
A home near you is nothing like a home near me

[Chorus]
And it’s louder than the TV and the radio
No one’s moving in or out, I gotta go
'Cause a home near you is nothing like a home near me

[Verse 2]
No one’s laughing
Oh but this kid is trying so hard
They’re home alone again
And a old man’s angry all the time about the yelling

You’re dying
Oh I hear it
When you’re crying
Why am I hurting?
[Chorus]
A home near you is nothing like a home near me
A home near you is nothing like a home near me

[Bridge]
You’re coming to a home near you
That you know so well
But can you hear the people
That you didn’t know so well?

And did you-u-u
And did ya-a-a
And did you-u-u
And did ya-a-a
And did you-u-u
And did ya-a-a
And did you-u-u
And did ya-a-a

[Chorus]
And it’s louder than the TV and the radio
No one’s moving in or out, I gotta go
A home near you is nothing like a home near me
A home near you is nothing like a home near me
Well a home near you is nothing like a home near me
