My woman thinks I wouldn't cheat
On her when we're apart
But there's a secret hidden
In the shadows of my heart
The truth is catching up with me
And it's hard to hide my shame
What she don't know won't hurt her
But it's drivin' me insane
My mind can't take my body
Runnin' 'round anymore
That guilty feelin's waitin' for me
Right outside my door
So let's just call it off tonight
And let my conscience be
What she don't know won't hurt her
But it's destroyin' me
It bothers me every time
I hear the doorbell ring
That someone might be droppin' by
To tell her everything
I stay upset 'cause I don't know
If anybody sees
What she don't know won't hurt her
But it's destroyin' me
My mind can't take my body
Runnin' 'round anymore
That guilty feelin's waitin' for me
Right outside my door
So let's just call it off tonight
And let my conscience be
What she don't know won't hurt her
But it's destroyin' me
What she don't know won't hurt her
But, Lord, it's killin' me
