Two Candles, One Dinner And A Bottle

(album: Bars, Booze, Blondes - 1979)

Every time my wife goes shopping you always keep the kids
How could anything so simple get so involved like this
It's amazing too how you can be so cool
When my wife is your best friend
And you treat her like a fool

I've stayed two candles, one dinner and a bottle too long
I just can't go through with this
My conscience says it's wrong
It's our first and last meeting
I just know I should be home
I've stayed two candles, one dinner and a bottle too long

I see our house around the corner
And it never looked so good
My wife is in there waiting
I'd tell her if I could
If she don't catch me now there won't be another time
Just once I almost cheated
And I'm home for good this time

I've stayed two candles, one dinner and a bottle too long...
