After you came in late last night  You said you'd been alone  Just needed some room to clear your mind  A little time away from home    Told me you were down on Highway 9  Down by the river bend  But this town has ears and this town has eyes  And a whole lot of so called friends  Oooh that ain't the way I heard it  Oooh that ain't the way I heard it    Don't you think I wanna trust every word you say  Don't you think I wanna look in your eyes  And feel suspicion slip away  When you say you got nothin' to hide  Oooh that ain't the way I heard it  Oooh that ain't the way I heard it    Throw me out a lifeline baby  Offer me a grain of truth  Treat me with a little bit of dignity  I think I deserve that much from you    Gimme one reason for stayin' cool  Tell me they're no good liars  Don't make me play your pathetic fool  Baby, show me that old desire    After you came in late last night  You said you'd been alone  Just needed some room to clear your mind  A little time away from home    Told me you were down on Highway 9  Down by the river bend  But this town has ears and this town has eyes  And a whole lot of so called friends  Oooh that ain't the way I heard it  Oooh that ain't the way I heard it
