I hate to leave your party and these friendly people here
But I don't fit in with all that's goin' on
Your love's an invitation but I can't go along
Cause when I want to love a lady I go home
I go home to love a lady she's waiting up for me a lady who has spent the night alone
No other man has touched her she saves her love for me
When I want to love a lady I go home
It would be so easy to live just for tonight yet I know to love you would be wrong
So I won't accept your offer although temptation's strong
When I want to love a lady I go home
I go home to love a lady
