Working Late

The steaks are getting cold on the table
I've got the TV on to "That's Incredible"
Every other woman is hot apple pie
so why isn't he home on time?

He's working late
And there aint nothin in the world that you can do
to bring him home to you
'cause when he says he's working late..

Oh lord, when we first moved in together
he just couldn't wait
to hold me in his arms
so he'd never hesitate

talk in words love, make me feel like a little girl
well now his living in another world

he's working late
and there aint nothin in the world that you can do
to bring him home to you
'cause when he says he's working late..

You give him all the love you could
and sometimes i give alone
you think he's looking for something he can't find at home
well tomorrow night, lets not go home

-harmonica-

I just go home, hang out by the tv set
there aint no more shows on and he aint home yet
try to close my eyes, and tell myself
that he would never fall in love with someone else

he's working late
and there aint nothin in the world that you can do
to bring him home to you
'cause when he says he's working..

he's working late
and there aint nothin in the world that you can do
to bring him home to you
'cause when he says he's..
he's working late - oh i know he's working
he's working late - then he just better be working late
