Lyrics
He knows it's all over town
That she likes to play around
She slips off to work each day
But work is play and she's gettin' a raise
His world is falling apart
He's got a hole in his heart
When they're apart it's breakin' him down
He knows she's playin' around
She comes home sundown
With a smile on while he's wearin' a frown
Calls her out but she don't know a thing
Says she's innocent, he's just imagining things
His world is falling apart
He's got a hole in his heart
When they're apart it's breakin' him down
He knows she's playin' around
He's been blinded by his faith in her
But he can see her infidelity
He just can't bring himself to walk away
His desperation clouds his sanity
He comes home just a day too soon
From his business trip and he enters the room
His naked angel lies covered in sin
In the arms of someone other than him
His world is falling apart
He's got a hole in his heart
When they're apart it's breakin' him down
He knows she's playin' around
Word's out, it's all over town
That she likes to play around
