Homebreaker that's what you're calling me But he stopped loving you before he came to me You're sayin' that I broke up your home and that I stole your man But that's not really true, I never had it planned You're giving me the blame but in your heart you should know He stopped loving you a long time ago Remember what he has to face when his day would end Just another party night with you entertaining your friends You gave them all your attention and he often sat alone Neglected and left out of things in what you called a home Homebreaker that's what you're calling me But he stopped loving you before he came to me I was sittin' in a diner when you came all alone Why, I bet you didn't miss him or even know that he was gone I listened as he talked to me, he had to tell someone And he cried tears for you, now yours have just began Well, now you say you love him but if you really do Then give him this chance at happiness A happiness he never had with you Homebreaker that's what you're calling me But he stopped loving you before he came to me
