[verse 1] I got the first flight out when I finished up the tour, because I missed you. I even flew home a day too soon all because I couldn't wait to kiss you. Oh how she will be loved, was the one thing stuck in my mind, and how tonight would be remembered for the rest of your life [Chorus] I never thought that I'd do something like that, When I saw you two it hit me like a heart attack, Oh No! How could you let somebody in through our door?, How could you bring him home? I never thought I'd loose my temper like that, Now its some fucked up situation, He ain't coming back! Oh No! How could you please another man on our floor? How could you bring him home?
