If you see her down at a local bar
Showin' all the signs of a lonely heart
Don't you be concerned

There ain't nothin' wrong
It's not her fault
She gets that way when I'm gone


If she's on the floor for a dance or two
Don't mean she's lookin' for a rendevous

She'll only be in his arms
'Til the end of the song
There's no harm done

She gets that way when I'm gone

She gets that way but I understand

I know in her heart that I'm her only man
And I can't stand to think of her home all alone


So I really don't mind if she paints the town red
What we feel inside doesn't have to be said
It's a matter of trust

And I know our love is strong
That's why I don't worry none
She gets that way when I'm gone


She gets a little restless but I don't mind
'Cause a woman like her

Surely deserves to have herself a real good time

So I really don't mind if she paints the town red

What we feel inside doesn't have to be said
It's a matter of trust
And I know our love is strong

That's why I don't worry none
She gets that way when I'm gone


No it's not her fault
She gets that way when I'm gone


No there's no harm done
She gets that way when I'm gone
