Last night when I got home about a half past ten
8 -8 -7 -8-8 8 -7 -6 6
There was the woman I thought I knew
5 6 -7 -6 6-6 6 6
In the arms of another man
6 8 -8 8 -7 -6 6 6
I kept my cool I ain`t no fool
5 6 -7 -6 6 6 6 -7
Let me tell you what happened then
6 8 -8 8 -7 -6 6 -6
I packed some clothes and I walked out
5 6 -7 -6 -6 6 6
And I ain`t goin` back again

2.
You`ve been many things, but most of all a good
secretary to me
And it`s times like thisI feel you`ve always been
close to me
Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a
good life?
All work and no play has just cost me a wife
CHORUS
3.
When a man loves a woman it`s hard to understand
That she would find more pleasure in the arms
of another man
I never really noticed how sweet you are to me
It just so happens I`m free tonight would you
like to have dinner with me?
CHORUS
