HE WOULD KNOW

Writer Dolly Parton

In my mind I've made love to you often but only in my mind can it be so

Cause there's someone at home that's countin' on me

And if I did I'm sure that he would know

Yes he would know yes he could tell

For he has loved me long enough to know me very well

And if I lie he sees it in my eyes I know my guilt would show and he would know

But I must admit you're someone very special and it would be so easy to let go

Making love to you could be so easy but if I did I'm sure that he would know

Yes he would know...

My conscience just won't let me make love to you

I know it would be sweet but I just can't

When I go home to him I must be able to look him in the eyes and say I ain't

Cause he would know...
