Song Lyrics

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"
