Neighbour Neighbour
Status Quo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're so unrespecting
You're interfering with my life

Day and night, all the time, leave me alone

Neighbour neighbour don't you worry what goes on in my home
You're always looking for something to gossip about
You run around from door to door
Rollin' your mouth about things you don't know
Neighbour neighbour don't you worry what goes on in my home
Just leave me alone

Neighbour neighbour don't worry how I treat my wife
You tell everybody we fuss and fight every night, well it ain't right
You've got your troubles, my troubles too
Something bad's gonna happen to you
Neighbour neighbour don't worry what goes on in my home
Just leave me alone

Day and night, all the time, yeah

Neighbour neighbour don't worry who knocks on my front door
Walking and talking and pacing all over the floor
Peeping, sleeping, through the hall
Keeping your big ears glued to my wall
Neighbour neighbour don't worry what goes on in my home
You know it's true

You're interfering with my life, leave me alone neighbour
Leave me alone, you go your way and I'll go mine





You're so unrespecting
