But something moist keeps getting in my eyes

He called and said don't wait he'd be working late and so another lonely night goes by

Meanwhile down at Joe's the music's playing

I can almost see him there holding her so tight

Meanwhile here at home the baby's crying all in all it's just another night

[ steel ]

I polish and I clean then read a magazine it's time for bed he'll soon be slipping in

Tomorrow he will be sweet and kind to me he'll love me until he works late again

Meanwhile down at Joe's...
