Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You told me things and I believed them all
You disappeared at times but that didn't matter at all
Mmm, those lonely nights, waitin' for your call
I didn't notice then, you were someone's
[Verse 2]
Husband, my desire for you is strong
But I won't do you wrong, you're that lady's husband
My decency prevails, yes, it does
And it won't let me keep you, no
[Verse 3]
So I'm letting you go, letting you go
So I'm letting you go, letting you go
[Verse 4]
You're satisfied, a real desire in me
Without apology, I still have those needs
Well, I'm a lady with class, and I know my desire will pass
This cannot occur, because you are her
[Verse 5]
Husband, my desire for you is strong
And I won't do wrong, 'cause I know in my heart that you are hers
I know, I know you are her husband
That's why I got to let you go
Desire says I should, but I say no (I say no)
[Verse 6]
I might not be all that I want to be (No, no, no)
I've been a fool before and I do things I deplore
But after you, if Shirley's gonna be a fool
A fool for any man, that man has got to be my
[Verse 7]
Husband, my desire for you is strong
And I won't do wrong
So I'm letting you go, letting you go
So I'm letting you go, letting you go
[Verse 8]
Because you are her
[Verse 9]
Husband, my desire for you is strong
And I won't do wrong, 'cause I know in my heart that you are hers
I know, I know you are her husband
That's why I got to let you go
[Verse 10]
Desire says I should, but I say no
My body says I should, but I say no
Mister you say I should, but I say no
Desire says I should, I say no
