Text: Skeeter Davis. Your Husband My Wife.
[ Skeeter ]
He knows I'm true but what he don't know is I'm true to only you
Tell me where does it stop does he know our married life is on the rocks
[ Bobby ]
Now before you say you want me for the rest of your life
Tell me what're we gonna do about your husband
[ Skeeter ]
And what're we gonna do about your wife
[ Bobby ]
Speak to your sigh in the darkness where unfaithfulness must hide
Knowing I'll forever taste all the tears I'll put upon my children's face
[ Skeeter ]
Now before I say I want you for the rest of my life
What're we gonna do about my husband
[ Bobby ]
And what're we gonna do about my wife
[ Both ]
Shouldn't we stop and look around let's think about the hearts we'll be breaking
And though we want each other need each other and we love each other
Think about the move we are making
[ Bobby ]
Oh baby don't you cry no matter what we'll never ever say goodbye
[ Skeeter ]
And Bobby I promise you this though I wear his ring I'll always wear your kiss
[ Both ]
But But as for marriage we can't pay the price
[ Bobby ]
Cause you don't really want to hurt your husband
[ Skeeter ]
And you don't really want to hurt your wife
[ Bobby ]
So what're we gonna do about your husband
[ Skeeter ]
What're we gonna do about your wife
He knows I'm true but what he don't know is I'm true to only you
Tell me where does it stop does he know our married life is on the rocks
[ Bobby ]
Now before you say you want me for the rest of your life
Tell me what're we gonna do about your husband
