If you see her down at a local bar

Showin' all the signs of a lonely heart

Don't you be concerned

There ain't nothin' wrong

It's not her fault

She gets that way when I'm gone



If she's on the floor for a dance or two

Don't mean she's lookin' for a rendevous

She'll only be in his arms

'Til the end of the song

There's no harm done

She gets that way when I'm gone



She gets that way but I understand

I know in her heart that I'm her only man

And I can't stand to think of her home all alone



So I really don't mind if she paints the town red

What we feel inside doesn't have to be said

It's a matter of trust

And I know our love is strong

That's why I don't worry none

She gets that way when I'm gone



She gets a little restless but I don't mind

'Cause a woman like her

Surely deserves to have herself a real good time



So I really don't mind if she paints the town red

What we feel inside doesn't have to be said

It's a matter of trust

And I know our love is strong

That's why I don't worry none

She gets that way when I'm gone



No it's not her fault

She gets that way when I'm gone



No there's no harm done

She gets that way when I'm gone
