She Won't Be Coming Home Tonight Lyrics

May I present to you a case of misery

And how foolish a man can be

The touch of her hand would set your heart aflame

But her eyes tell the story of love in vain

And now she's been out so late

Now she's been out so late and I'm saying

I've seen her go before, but I think this time

She won't be coming home tonight

A man can love a woman, love her deep inside

Don't mean nothing if he don't treat her right

For all my scheming and my fooling around

I've learned a finer woman could not be found

But now she's been out so late

Now she's been out so late and I'm thinking

She's had enough of waiting round and wasting time

She won't be coming home tonight

Now she's been out so late

Now she's been out so late and I'm wondering

I've seen her go before, but I think this time

She won't be coming home tonight

So there's my testimony, perhaps a little late

Evidence is in

I await my fate

I will I accept the sentence held for me

But understand I must plead insanity!

'Cause now I found out too late

Now I found out too late and I'm saying

As God is my witness

And the Devil was my guide

She won't be comin' home tonight, oh no

She won't be comin' home tonight
