Well, the door's unlocked and the lights still on
And the covers turned down on the bed
And you don't have to say that you're sorry anymore
'Cause honey I believe what you saidIf there's anybody perfect, well, I ain't seem 'em yet
And we all gotta learn to forgive and forget
That's what you do when you're in love, in love
That's what you do when you're in loveWell, he called me up to tell me that he wasn't coming home
Guilt was too heavy and his pride too strong
He'd had a lot to drink and he did me wrong
'Cause he didn't sleep alone last nightHe said the other woman couldn't hold a light to me
But she made him feel young, kinda wild and free
He called home with his guilty plea
'Cause he knew he hadn't done me rightHe expected me to cry and hang up the phone
But all my heart could sayYes, the door's unlocked and the lights still on
And the covers turned down on the bed
And you don't have to say that you're sorry anymore
'Cause honey I believe what you saidIf there's anybody perfect, well, I ain't seem 'em yet
And we all gotta learn to forgive and forget
That's what you do when you're in love, in love
That's what you do when you're in loveHe said you're some kinda woman to feel this way
'Cause honey, I expected there'd be hell to pay
When a man gets lonely sometimes he'll play
Last night I was a lonely manI said I know that you think I'm being kind and sweet
Loneliness can be a two-way street
Many times I've had to fight the urge to cheat
I'm just sayin' that I understandAs he stood there thinkin' bout the words I said
I think he began to seeAnd the door's unlocked and the lights still on
And the covers turned down on the bed
And you don't have to say that you're sorry anymore
'Cause honey I believe what you saidIf there's anybody perfect, well, I ain't seem 'em yet
And we all gotta learn to forgive and forget
That's what you do when you're in love, in love
That's what you do when you're in loveWell, the door's unlocked and the lights still on
And the covers turned down on the bed
And you don't have to say that you're sorry anymore
'Cause honey I believe what you saidIf there's anybody perfect, well, I ain't seem 'em yet
And we all gotta learn to forgive and forget
That's what you do when you're in love, in love
That's what you do when you're in loveWell, the door's unlocked and the lights still on
And the covers turned down on the bed
And you don't have to say that you're sorry anymore
'Cause honey I believe what you saidIf there's anybody perfect, well, I ain't seem 'em yet
