Well, I drove home from work this evening The same way I always do And, on the street there by the motel Well, I was shocked when I saw you I felt my heart as it was breaking I saw you were not alone And any chance we had together Well, I knew that it was gone.
(Chorus) Didn’t I treat you like a lady Didn’t I make your life complete And this is how you go repay me With some stranger off the street.
I sat there thinking ‘bout the reasons I thought this can’t be what it seems And he put his arm around you As the red light turned to green I didn’t even try to stop him I just let you walk on by But, as I drove on down the highway I couldn’t help but wonder why.
(Repeat Chorus)
This is how you go repay me With some stranger off the street.
