I hate to leave your party and these friendly people here

But I don't fit in with all that's goin' on

Your love's an invitation but I can't go along

Cause when I want to love a lady I go home

I go home to love a lady she's waiting up for me a lady who has spent the night alone

No other man has touched her she saves her love for me

When I want to love a lady I go home



It would be so easy to live just for tonight yet I know to love you would be wrong

So I won't accept your offer although temptation's strong

When I want to love a lady I go home

I go home to love a lady...
