You said that you'd be happy with a baby on your knees

But here I sat with him in my arms and you're slippin' around on me

You thought that you were being wise when you called me on the phone

And you said that you had been delayed but you'll soon be coming home

And the same old song kept comin' and a goin' and he kept shoppin' around

When I heard the people laughing I knew there must be something wrong

For every touch too late to be delayed for I could see the break of dawn

I knew that you've been cheatin'...
