C G7 C
I come home every night and she meets me with a great big kiss
F C
And she says I love you and how was your day
F C
She brings me my slippers cooks my dinner and holds my hand
G7 C
And vows her love for me won't ever fade away
F
Tell it like it was tell it like it was
C G7 C
Not like it is cause it ain't no more tell it like it was
G7 C
I told her once I was born with a restless streak in me
F C
But she laughed it off and said honey you're just a man
F C
Go where you have to go do what you have to do
G7 C
I love you I'll wait for you and I'll understand
Repeat #2
G7 C
I called her up last night from down in Mexico
F C
She said baby it's cold tonight and I'm alone
F C
I'm not gonna hold anybody I'm not gonna kiss anybody
G7 C
I'm saving me for you till you get home
Repeat #2
