> You call me from my office to say you're workin' late
Well, I admire your dedication, but where's the extra pay?
I meet you at the front door with wine on your breath
I couldn't help but notice there's a button off your dress
Say you and your girlfriends just stopped to eat a bite
I was born in the dark, but it wasn't last night
Friday, I came home and you was lookin' fit to kill
Said you're goin' to your sister's, 'cause your sister's feelin' ill
I called her house all weekend just to see if she was fine
I never got an answer; must have called a hundred times
She suddenly got better and y'all took in all the sites
I was born in the dark, but it wasn't last night
Say, hey, sweet baby, I'm no fool
There's somethin' goin' on and it just ain't good
Well, come on, baby, let's talk straight
You got one last chance and a choice to make
Say, hey, sweet baby, I'm no fool
There's somethin' goin' on and it just ain't good
So, come on, honey, let's talk straight
You got one last chance and a choice to make
Well, I ask you why you never wear that pretty negligee
It seems that you misplaced it, at least that's what you say
You think I made it up and I don't trust you anymore
But I found it in the trash can and both the straps were tore
Don't remember how it happened; was probably too tight
I was born in the dark, but it wasn't last night
You tell me that you love me, but I know it's just a lie
I was born in the dark, but it wasn't last night
Tell the truth, now
