The steaks are getting cold on the table

I've got the TV on to "That's Incredible"

Every other woman is hot apple pie

so why isn't he home on time?

He's working late

And there aint nothin in the world that you can do

to bring him home to you

'cause when he says he's working late..

Oh lord, when we first moved in together

he just couldn't wait

to hold me in his arms

so he'd never hesitate

talk in words love, make me feel like a little girl

well now his living in another world

he's working late

and there aint nothin in the world that you can do

to bring him home to you

'cause when he says he's working late..

You give him all the love you could

and sometimes i give alone

you think he's looking for something he can't find at home

well tomorrow night, lets not go home

-harmonica-

I just go home, hang out by the tv set

there aint no more shows on and he aint home yet

try to close my eyes, and tell myself

that he would never fall in love with someone else

he's working late

and there aint nothin in the world that you can do

to bring him home to you

'cause when he says he's working..

he's working late

and there aint nothin in the world that you can do

to bring him home to you

'cause when he says he's..

he's working late - oh i know he's working

he's working late - then he just better be working late
