Lyrics

I LOOK AT HER FACE WITH HER MAN
THAT SMILE IS STRETCHED FROM EAR TO EAR
BUT WHEN HE'S NOT THERE
SHE LIVES IN FEAR

BUT I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT ALL NIGHT LONG
AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY IF HE'S COMIN HOME

THEY GO TO THE MOVIES AND GO TO THE MALL
THEY GO TO THE PARTY AND HAVE A BALL.
A SWEET YOUNG THING CATCHES HIS EYE
AND now SHE FEELS JUST LIKE SHE WANT TO DIE.

BUT I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT ALL NIGHT LONG
AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY IF HE'S COMIN HOME

THE BABY IS CRyING AND THE KIDS ARE BAD
THE HOUSE LOOKS LIKE HELL BUT WHO DO YOU TELL
YOU CAN'T TELL HIM CAUSE HE AIN'T THERE
HE'S OUT WITH THE BOYS AT GOD KNOWS WHERE

BUT I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT ALL NIGHT LONG
AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY IF HE'S COMING HOME.

A FEW YEARS HAVE PASSED AND SHE'S GOT A FEW LINES
STARTIN TO WORRY IF SHE'S AS FINE
HER MAN IS STARTIN TO COME HOME LATE
AND NOW SHE'S WONDERING IF HE'S ON A DATE

BUT I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT ALL NIGHT LONG
AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY IF HES COMING HOME

WHEN HE COMES HOME SHE LAYS IN BED
AND TRIES TO PRETEND SHE HEARS WHAT HE SAYS
SHE'S HURTIN INSIDE SO DAMN BAD
SHE KNOWS THE TRUTH AND IS FEELIN SO SAD

BUT I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT ALL NIGHT LONG
AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY IF HE'S COMIN HOME

THE NEXT DAY COMES AND IT'S NOT THE SAME
SHE'S DECIDED TO MAKE THAT CHANGE
SHE PACKED HIS CLOTHES AND LEFT THEM AT THE DOOR
NOW SHE WILL HAVE TO WORRY NO MORE

NOW SHE CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT ALL NIGHT LONG
AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY IF HE'S COMING HOME
