C                       F         G                           C 
You and I we've had our problems but I think the counselor's right 
                      F         G                            C 
A change in behavior patterns could save the romance in our lives 
                      F             G                     C 
So let's load up the stationwagon, drive as far as we can get 
                         F        G                            C 
Find ourselves a little Motel 6, and we'll make love like Tom Bodet 
 
                               F        G                           C 
That's right we'll leave the light on, you draw the curtain by the door 
                            F               G 
I'll day I love you in a monotone, mmm,mmm,mmm, 
                           C 
And we'll make love like before 
                   F          G                 C 
Bring a bottle of champagne, ice it down in the sink 
                           F 
Use a plastic cup for an ashtray, 
G                                     C     A C 
And leave our trash for the maids to clean 
 
 
I know you've had your reservations about our love in the past 
But if we lower our expectations, maybe it won't seem like such a test 
So why don't you lock that door behind you 
Come here and lay down by my side 
And we'll give a whole new meaning to the words "It's checkout time" 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
(spoken) 
I sure am glad we took our marriage counselors advice and came here to this  
Motel 6.  It's kinda like our second honeymoon.  I know it's not the Holiday  
Hilton, but there's color TV and cable, and free coffee in the morning, and,  
oh look, Karate Kid Part 3 is coming on HBO.  Well, we'd better get started,  
because you know how much I hate to miss the beginning of a movie. 
 
That's right we'll leave the light on, you draw the curtain by the door 
I'll say I love you in a monotone, mmm,mmm,mmm 
And we'll make love on the floor
