Somewhere, a party's goin' on Someone's there that should go home But he's the life of the party So his friends won't let him go, oh no He's havin' a real good time Tellin' jokes and drinkin' wine And if someone's waitin' for him You'd never know But at home, she's lookin' out the window Thinkin' about the good times She remembers holdin' back the tears And wishin' he was safe at home Inside, her two lovin' arms sure do miss him Two lips that long to kiss him And once more whisper "Baby, I love you" Back at the party, he's all smiles And his mind is a million miles From the woman That keeps on lovin' him more and more One more dance, a little more wine He's not too worried about the time 'Cause he knows She'll be waitin' there at the door But at home, she's lookin' out the window Thinkin' about the good times She remembers holdin' back the tears And wishin' he was safe at home Outside, she sees the car lights She hears the door and knows he's alright And though he's been a million places She never looks for lipstick traces And in her heart, she knows he's wrong But she's so glad to have him home And once more, she whispers as a tear falls down She whispers once more, she whispers, "I love you"
