(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)

Why will a man go out and cheat
What makes temptation so sweet
And it's a shame that neon lights
Will make a man lay out all night
With a girl in a bar down the street.

You never meant to be that man
But last night you held another's hand
Though her kisses tasted sweet
That's not what made you cheat
So I'll try and explain it if I can,

Where, where, where could you go
Oh, when you needed love I wasn't there
And her two open arms offered love sweet and warm
Where could you go but to her?

I'll forgive your one mistake
If you swear it's the last you'll ever make
I let those arms you need the most
Take you back and hold you close
For loving you is a habit I can't break.

Where, where, where could you go
Oh, when you feel the urge to go wrong
The next time you're tempted
when your glass is emptied
Where will you go? You'll come home...
