It's hours past midnight I'm on my way home
F C G7
And my guilty conscience won't leave me alone
C F C
For I've been out cheatin' with somebody new
F C G7 C
What makes me do the bad things I do
G7
Back there at a truck-stop I washed my face
F C G7
And I checked the mirror for each tell-tell trace
C F C
For lipstick or makeup that might leave a clue
F C G7 C
What makes me do the bad things I do
F C
I don't understand what gets in my mind
D7 G7
To make me keep cheatin' time after time
C F C
I've got a good woman so loving and true
F C G7 C
What makes me do the bad things I do
G7
Tomorrow at breakfast I hope she won't see
F C G7
Through my lying answers when she questions me
C F C
I'll tell her that I met a friend we once knew
F C G7 C
What makes me do the bad things I do
