Lyrics
He knows it’s all over town That she likes to play around She slips off to work each day But work is play and she’s gettin’ a raise
His world is fallin’ apart He’s got a hole in his heart when they’re apart It’s breakin’ him down He knows she’s playin’ around
She comes home sundown With a smile on while he’s wearing a frown Calls her out but she don’t know a thing Says she’s innocent, he’s just imagining things
His world is fallin’ apart He’s got a hole in his heart when they’re apart It’s breakin’ him down He knows she’s playin’ around
He’s been blinded by his faith in her But he can see her infidelity He just can’t bring himself to walk away His desperation clouds his sanity
He comes home just a day too soon From his business trip and he enters the room His naked angel lies covered in sin In the arms of someone other than him
His world is fallin’ apart He’s got a hole in his heart when they’re apart It’s breakin’ him down He knows she’s playin’ around
Word’s out, it’s all over town That she likes to play around
