Lyrics

I woke up crying
To voices soft and low
And the sound of sweet love makin'
Coming from the room next door
I heard him say
"Babe, I felt so good
In such a long, long time."
You see, I, I've been having this problem
With that hard-headed wife of mine
You see, the walls were paper thin
In the motel that I was in
And suddenly an oh-so-familiar sound
Turned my world upside down
I heard him say
"Now I know that I'm a good man
But my wife acts like she wanna be free."
Well, I had a feeling she was loving somebody
'Cause she sure ain't been giving it to me
And then I heard him say
"Life is much too short to worry."
So I made up my mind today, yeah
To go out and find myself somebody
So I can get what she's been givin' away
You see, the walls were paper thin
In the motel that I was in
And suddenly an oh-so-familiar sound
Turned my world upside down
I heard him say
"Slow down and take your time
We don't have to hurry
Tonight is yours and mine."
You see, my wife
Don't love me no more
She's out right now with a guy named Joe, yeah
That's when I knew why I was crying
You see, I heard my husband say, yeah
"That's alright, I won't even miss her
As long as you keep on loving me this way."
You see, the walls were paper thin
In the motel that I was in
And suddenly an oh-so-familiar sound
Turned my world upside down
Is it too late, baby?
Is it over?
I know you think I don't love you no more
You see, I went out
To have a little fling
But I messed around and lost my good thing
Now it's over
"I gotta feeling it's over outside now."
"It's over!"
