Two Candles, One Dinner and a Bottle - Johnny Paycheck

Every time my wife goes shopping you always keep the kids

How could anything so simple get so involved like this

It’s amazing too how you can be so cool

When my wife is your best friend

And you treat her like a fool

I’ve stayed two candles, one dinner and a bottle too long

I just can’t go through with this

My conscience says it’s wrong

It’s our first and last meeting

I just know I should be home

I’ve stayed two candles, one dinner and a bottle too long

I see our house around the corner

And it never looked so good

My wife is in there waiting

I’d tell her if I could

If she don’t catch me now there won’t be another time

Just once I almost cheated

And I’m home for good this time

I’ve stayed two candles, one dinner and a bottle too long…
