My woman thinks I wouldn't cheat on her when we're apart But there's a secret hidden in the shadows of my heart The truth is catching up with me and it's hard to hide my shame What she don't know won't hurt her but it's drivin' me insane My mind can't take my body runnin' 'round anymore That guilty feelin's waitin' for me right outside my door So let's just call it off tonight and let my conscience be What she don't know won't hurt her but it's destroyin' me It bothers me every time I hear the doorbell ring That someone might be droppin' by to tell her everything I stay upset 'cause I don't know if anybody sees What she don't know won't hurt her but it's destroyin' me My mind can't take my body runnin' 'round anymore That guilty feelin's waitin' for me right outside my door So let's just call it off tonight and let my conscience be What she don't know won't hurt her but it's destroyin' me What she don't know won't hurt her but, Lord, it's killin' me
