Yes, my wedding band is just too loose to hold me
'Cause it slips off my finger now and then
Especially when I'm laying here with Anna in my arms
I find it's gettin' harder to pretend
'Cause Anna just don't know how much I'm married
And if she did I know she'd want to die
But what she doesn't know won't ever hurt her
So I'll lay right here and tell another lie
I'll be laying here, lying in bed
I know what she wants to hear, so that's what will be said
The truth would only hurt her, so I'll tell a lie instead
While I'm laying here, lying in bed
When I get home I'll kiss the tie that binds me
'Cause he's the apple of his daddy's eye
If his mother wakes and asks me where I've been and if I love her
Then Lord, I'll have to tell another lie
I'll be laying here, lying in bed
I know what she wants to hear, so that's what will be said
The truth would only hurt her, so I'll tell a lie instead
While I'm laying here, lying in bed
'Cause it slips off my finger now and then
Especially when I'm laying here with Anna in my arms
I find it's gettin' harder to pretend
'Cause Anna just don't know how much I'm married
And if she did I know she'd want to die
But what she doesn't know won't ever hurt her
So I'll lay right here and tell another lie
I'll be laying here, lying in bed
I know what she wants to hear, so that's what will be said
The truth would only hurt her, so I'll tell a lie instead
While I'm laying here, lying in bed
When I get home I'll kiss the tie that binds me
'Cause he's the apple of his daddy's eye
If his mother wakes and asks me where I've been and if I love her
Then Lord, I'll have to tell another lie
I'll be laying here, lying in bed
I know what she wants to hear, so that's what will be said
The truth would only hurt her, so I'll tell a lie instead
