With One Exception

(album: I (Who Have Nothing) - 1970)

I've seen lots of pretty faces
In a million different places
And it's hard for me to keep from doing wrong
'Cause you're the cutest and you're the sweetest
And you always dressed the neatest
With one exception and she's waiting at home

If I let temptation fill me
I know your kiss would thrill me
And how easy it would be to lead you on
Oh, you're such a lovely girl
You know, you're perfect for my world
With one exception and she's waiting at home

Oh, sometimes I've almost cheated, after all I'm just a man
Can't you see my world is wrapped up in this golden wedding band

Oh, I'd beg, steal or borrow
If you'd be mine tomorrow
With one exception and she's waiting at home, yeah
You know, I'd beg, steal or borrow
If you'd be mine tomorrow
With one exception and she's waiting at home
With one exception and she's waiting at home
