When You Get There Lyrics

You wake up in the morning
And you're not feeling quite the same
You feel a gentle hand upon you
But you seem to have forgotten her name
You put on your clothes
You're headed home
You're hoping and praying you won't be all alone

When you get there
When you get there

You haven't had a chance to think
About explaining where you slept till noon
You can't say you were working all night
'Cause it's Sunday afternoon
The truth is so hard
You'll never come back
'Cause a one night stand is not worth the attack

When you get there
When you get there

You're walking up to our front door
As my face comes into view
You think you've got a pretty good lie
You say you slept at Mary Lou's
You open the door
You start telling lies
But then from the hall you hear Mary Lou cry

When you get there
When you get there

When you get there
When you get there
