You call me from the office
And say you're workin' late
Well I admire your dedication
But where's the extra pay
I meet you at the door
with wine on your breath
I couldn't help but notice
there's a button off your dress
Say you and your girlfriends
Just stopped to eat a bite
Well I was born in the dark
But it wasn't last night
Friday I came home
And you was lookin' fit to kill
Said you're goin'
to your sisters
'Cause your sister's feelin' ill
I called her house all weekend
Just to see if she was fine
I never got an answer
Must've called
a hundred times
She suddenly got better
Y'all took in all the sights
I was born in the dark
But it wasn't last night
Say hey sweet baby I'm no fool
There's somethin' goin' on
And it just ain't good
Well come on baby
Well let's talk straight
You got a one last chance
And a choice to make
Say hey sweet baby I'm no fool
There's somethin' goin' on
And it just ain't good
Well come on baby
Well let's talk straight
You got a one last chance
And a choice to make
Well I asked you
why you never
wear that pretty negligee
It seems that you misplaced it
At least that's what you say
You think I made it up
And I don't trust you anymore
But I found it in the trash can
And both the straps were tore
Don't remember
how it happened
Was probably too tight
I was born in the dark
But it wasn't last night
You tell me that you love me
But I know it's just a lie
I was born in the dark
But it wasn't last night
Tell the truth now
