I've seen lots of pretty faces in a million different places And it's hard for me to keep from doing wrong Cause you're the cutest and the sweetest you always dress the neatest With one exception and she's waiting at home If I let temptation fill me I know your kiss would thrill me And how easy it would be to lead you on You're such a lovely girl you're perfect for my world With one exception and she's waiting at home Sometimes I almost cheated after all I'm just a man Can't you see my world is wrapped up in a golden wedding band I'd beg steal or borrow and you'd be mine tomorrow With one exception and she's waiting at home Yes I'd beg steal or borrow and you'd be mine tomorrow With one exception and she's waiting at home
