LAST NIGHT, AS I GOT HOME
ABOUT HALF PAST TEN
THERE WAS A WOMAN I THOUGHT I KNEW
IN THE AREMS OF ANOTHER MAN

I KEPT MY COOL, I ANI’T NO FOOL
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED THEN
I PACKED SOME CLOUSE AND I WALKED OUT
AND I AIN’T COMING BACK AGAIN

SO TAKE A LETTER, DEIDRA
ADDRESS IT TO MY WIFE
SAY I WON’T BE COMING HOME
GOTTA START A NEW LIFE
SO TAKE A LETTER, DEIDRA
ADDRESS IT TO MY WIFE
SEND A COPY TO MY LAWER
GOTTA START A NEW LIFE

YOU’VE BEEN MANY THINGS
BUT MOST OF ALL
A GOOD FRIEND TO ME
IT’S TIMES LIKE THIS I FEEL
YOU’LL ALWAYS BE CLOSE TO ME

AND WAS I WRONG TO WORK NIGHTS
TO TRY TO BUILD A GOOD LIFE
ALL WORK AND NO PLAY JUST COST ME A WIFE

WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN
IT’S HARD TO UNDERSTAND
THAT SHE WOULD FIND MORE PLEASURS
IN THE ARMS OF ANOTHER MAN

DEIDRA, I NEVER REALLY NOTICED
JUST HOW SWEET YOU ARE TO ME
IT JUST SO HAPPENS I’M FREE TONIGHT
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE DINNER WITH ME
