All the bedroom lights go out
|
As the neighbourhood gets quiet
|
Everything in heaven and earth is almost right
|
But there's a wife whos wondering where her husband could be tonight
|
And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright
|
|
Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him
|
He was late this time last week
|
Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim
|
'Cause the baby isn't old enought to speak
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
There's been a long honeymoon
|
She thought too late and spoke too soon
|
There's no money back guarantee on future happiness
|
There's been a long honeymoon
|
If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins
|
She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this
|
|
All the movies and the papers
|
Feature the murders of lonely women
|
If he isn't in by ten she'll call up her best friend
|
Why doesn't he come home
|
Why does her friends phone keep on ringing
|
Maybe she should just pretend
|
|
[Chorus]
|
