He comes home
Early some days
Takes care of the bills
Then drives away
To a little motel
Way down the road
And she don't know, she don't know
She stays up
Late some nights
Puts the kids in bed
And turns out the lights
Wonders where
He always goes
But she don't know, she don't know
Chorus:
She don't know who he's lovin' on late at night
Don't know what he's thinking when holding her tight
And she wonders if she'll ever understand
How givin' him a family and all her love
Could mean so much and still not be enough
And she don't know, he's with another man
She don't know
They built a life
For twenty years
Through the ups and downs
The laughter and tears
But he changed his mind
A while ago
And she don't know, she don't know
For many years
He was afraid
It didn't feel right
He was ashamed
And he feels guilty
Every time he goes
'Cause she don't know, she don't know
Chorus:
She don't know who he's lovin' on late at night
Don't know what he's thinking when holding her tight
And she wonders if she'll ever understand
How givin' him a family and all her love
Could mean so much and still not be enough
And she don't know, he's with another man
She don't know
Bridge:
He doesn't want to tell her
Doesn't want break her heart
It's better for the family
If he keeps her in the dark
And he won't answer questions
Ignores them, oh, he tries
Until one day he breaks down
And she holds him while he cries
Chorus:
Now she knows who he's lovin' on late at night
She knows what he's thinking when holding her tight
And still wonders if she'll ever understand
How givin' him a family and all her love
Could mean so much and still not be enough
And now she knows, he's with another man
Now she knows
