The night shift got off early because of making repairs And I stopped off for a drink on my way home I didn't know that you loaned out the dress that I bought for you to wear Sweetheart, tell me my lying eyes are wrong I thought I saw him kissing you as you danced across the floor But I knew that you were with the kids at home I thought I saw a baby sitter meet me at the door Sweetheart, tell me my lying eyes are wrong Tell me that there's another girl identical to you And that she's the one who rambles all night long Tell me that your old used to be didn't bring you home at dawn Sweetheart, tell me my lying eyes are wrong Sweetheart, tell me my lying eyes are wrong
