Midnight Love

He calls about 5:30 and tells me he'll be late

He says he'll grab a bite to eat and tells me not to wait

I go to bed at midnight and one he's still not in

I hope he's drinkin' a with the boys and not with her again

Then he pulls into the driveway his key clicks in the lock

He turns on the bathroom light and I glance at the clock

He starts the shower runnin' it's almost three a.m.

He washin' off that midnight love she left all over him

He's washin' off that midnight love the perfume and the sweat

But there's more love goin' down the drain than the traces that she left

All the water in the world won't clean up where he's been

He's washin' off that midnight love she left all over him

He slips in bed and whispers sorry I'm so late

I bite my lip and close my eyes pretend I'm not awake

I can't bring myself to touch him after where he's been

Cause he can't wash off that midnight love she left all over him

He's washin' off that midnight love the perfume and the sweat

But there's more love goin' down the drain than the traces that she left

All the water in the world won't clean up where he's been

He's washin' off that midnight love she left all over him

No he can't wash off that midnight love she left all over him
