The Long Honeymoon

All the bedroom lights go out As the neighbourhood gets quiet Everything in heaven and earth is almost right But there's a wife whos wondering where her husband could be tonight And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him He was late this time last week Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim 'Cause the baby isn't old enought to speak There's been a long honeymoon She thought too late and spoke too soon There's no money back guarantee on future happiness There's been a long honeymoon If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this All the movies and the papers Feature the murders of lonely women If he isn't in by ten she'll call up her best friend Why doesn't he come home Why does her friends phone keep on ringing Maybe she should just pretend (Chorus)
