If you see her down at a local bar
Showing all the signs of a lonely heart
Don't you be concerned
There ain't nothing wrong
It's not her fault
She gets that way when I'm gone

If she's on the floor for a dance or two
Don't mean she's looking for a rendez-vous
She'll only be in his arms
'Til the end of the song
There's no harm done
She gets that way when I'm gone

She gets that way but I understand
I know in her heart that I'm her only man
And I can't stand to think of her home all alone

So I really don't mind if she paints the town red
What we feel inside doesn't have to be said
It's a matter of trust
And I know our love is strong
That's why I don't worry none
She gets that way when I'm gone

She gets a little restless but I don't mind
'Cause a woman like her surely deserves to have herself a real good time

So I really don't mind if she paints the town red
What we feel inside doesn't have to be said
It's a matter of trust
And I know our love is strong
That's why I don't worry none
She gets that way when I'm gone

No, it's not her fault
She gets that way when I'm gone
No, there's no harm done
She gets that way when I'm gone
