Husband (album version) Lyrics
You told me things and I believed them all.
You disappeared at times,
But that did matter at all.
Mmmm, those lonely nights, I waited for your call.
I didn't noticed then,
You were someone's husband.
My desire for you is strong
And I won't do wrong.
You're that lady's husband.
Now my decency prevails, yes it does,
And it won't let me keep you, no.
So I'm letting you go, letting you go.
So I'm letting you go, letting you go.
You satisfied a real desire in me
Without apologies.
I still have those needs.
Well, I'm a lady with class.
And I know my desire will pass.
This cannot occur,
Because you are her husband.
My desire for you is strong
And I won't do wrong,
'Cause I know in my heart that you are her husband.
I know, I know you are her husband.
That's why I've got to let you go.
Desire says I should, but I say no. (I say no.)
Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-dum, uh, uh. (Mmmm, hmmmm, mmmm.)
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo, no, no, no, no, no.
I might not be all that I want to be. (Ooh, no, no.)
I've been a fool before and I do things I deplore.
But after you, if Shirley's gonna be a fool,
A fool for any man,
That man has got to be my husband.
My desire for you is strong
And I won't do wrong.
So I'm letting you go, letting you go. (Well, yes, I)
So I'm letting you go, letting you go.
(Saxophone solo)
Because you are her husband.
My desire for you is strong
And I won't do wrong,
'Cause I know in my heart that you are her husband.
I know, I know you are her husband.
That's why I've got to let you go.
Desire says I should, but I say no.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. (No, no, no-no-no, no-no-no-no.)
Desire says I should, but I say no.
No, no-no-no, no-no-no, no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no.)
Mister, you say I should, but I say no.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Desire says I should.
I say no.
You disappeared at times,
But that did matter at all.
Mmmm, those lonely nights, I waited for your call.
I didn't noticed then,

And I won't do wrong.
You're that lady's husband.
Now my decency prevails, yes it does,
And it won't let me keep you, no.
So I'm letting you go, letting you go.
So I'm letting you go, letting you go.
Without apologies.
I still have those needs.
Well, I'm a lady with class.
And I know my desire will pass.
This cannot occur,
Because you are her husband.
And I won't do wrong,
'Cause I know in my heart that you are her husband.
I know, I know you are her husband.

Mister, you say I should, but I say no.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Desire says I should.
I say no.
