Lyrics
Love, you came to us when we were on our own
Sung your song at our wedding, came to share our home
You sat down at our table, shared a cup of wine
You kept us together (Girl, you kept us together)
And helped us pass the time (Time)
If you're ever in the neighborhood, ooh-ooh
Ever, ever, ever in the neighborhood
Stop by, say hello
Have a cup if you're ever in the neighborhood (Ever in the neighborhood)
Love, be sure to look us up
(We sure do miss you, love)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
When the babies came, they knew your name
Your song was in the air
But then we got too busy (Too busy)
To know that you were there (Know that you were there)
Love, we didn't mean it
Did we make you leave?
It's not that we forgot (It's not that we forgot)
We know you're what we need
If you're ever in our neighborhood, ooh-ooh
Ever, ever in our neighborhood
Stop by, say hello
Have a cup if you're ever in the neighborhood (Ever in the neighborhood)
Love, be sure to look us up, ooh
(If you're ever in the neighborhood)
Sure do miss you, love
If you're ever in the neighborhood
Love, be sure to look us up
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (If you're ever in the neighborhood)
Love, be sure to look us up
If you're ever in the neighborhood
Love, be sure to look us up
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh (If you're ever in the neighborhood)
Oh, oh
