On a dead-end street, in a dead-end town
There's a motel that I call home
Just a few small hopes and a few small dreams
Are all that place is resting onDesiree lives two doors down
She's been there for way too long, oh, yeah
Sometime when she's feeling down
You know I hope she hears this songOn a bed of roses
Not beneath some motel light
On a bed of roses
Ooh, she deserves to sleep tonight
She deserves to sleep tonightShe comes home late every night
I can hear her walking down my hall
She don't talk on the phone too much
When she does, I hear it through my wallDesiree don't have many friends, oh, no
At least not many good ones
I may be just an ordinary man
But least I'm someone to lean onOn a bed of roses
Not beneath some motel light
On a bed of roses
Ooh, she deserves to sleep tonight
She deserves to sleep tonightTonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonightOn a bed of roses
Not beneath some motel light
On a bed of roses
Ooh, she deserves to sleep tonightOn a bed of roses
Ohh, yeah
On a bed of roses
Ohh, she deserves to sleep tonight
She deserves to sleep tonight(On a bed of roses)
Ohh, on a dead-end street, in a dead-end town
There's a place that I call home
(On a bed of roses)
Where I call home, ooh, yeah
(On a bed of roses)
Ohh, I call home
