He calls about 5:30
And he says that he'll be late
He said he'd grab a bite to eat
And he tells me not to wait
I go to bed about midnight
At one he's still not in
I hope he's drinking with the boys
And not with her again

His car pulls in the driveway
His key clicks in the lock
Then he turns on the bathroom light
And I glance at the clock
He starts the shower running
It's almost 3 AM
He's washing off that midnight love
She left all over him

He's washing off that midnight love
And perfume you can bet
But there's more love going down the drain
Then the traces that she left
All the water in the world in the world
Won't clean up where he's been
He's washing off that midnight love
She left all over him

He slips in bed and whispers
I'm sorry I'm so late
I bite my lip and I close my eyes
And pretend I'm not awake
I can't bring myself to touch him
Anywhere shes been
'Cause he can't wash off that midnight love
She left all over him

He's washing off that midnight love
And perfume you can bet
But there's more love going down the drain
Then the traces that she left
All the water in the world in the world
Won't clean up where he's been
He's washing off that midnight love
She left all over him
He can't wash off that midnight love
She left all over him
