Innocent and uptight, 'Sir, it wasn't me'.

I think I told you, I don't know where she went,

All I can conclude from the letter she sent,

Is she packed up headed out, left me with our child.

Saying, 'it's about time I ran a little wild.'

I think I told you she's a wild card.

You don't think she's lying in my yard,

Do you think she's lying in my yard.

Standing bolt upright ,standing in the dock.

Innocent and uptight, 'Sir, I'm still in shock.

I think I told you, I loved her all these years,

Now she's gone and left me I can't swallow all my tears.

But she's still my child's mother, she's still this mans wife.

I guess that I'm glad I've got the rest of my life,

to rock my child gently, rock my child slow.

I think it's best she doesn't know,

yes I think it's best she doesn't know.

Lying beside me, lying to my face.

Duty reminds me, to keep her in her place.

I once told her. I'd never let her go,

But, how could I sit back and watch her tear apart my home.

It wasn't my intention, I know it wasn't right,

I couldn't stand back and let her ruin my life.

I laid her down gently, laid her down low.

I think it's best she doesn't know,

yes I think it's best she doesn't know.
