Honey, What's The Matter


Honey, what's the matter?
It's the middle of the night
And you're restless as all get-out
Now you're turning on the light

Something must be bothering you
Something mighty bad
I touch your face, I feel the tears
What's making you so sad

Come on let me hold you
I'm your husband, I can see
You're a-boiling up with trouble
You can tell the truth to me
Come on let me hold you
I'm your husband, can't you see
I'll take care of everything
You can put your trust in me
We'll talk tomorrow morning
Now go on back to sleep

Honey, what's the matter?
That's a suitcase on the chair
And you're packing up the suitcase
Like you're going off somewhere
Once I read a terrible book
I think that you read it, too
The wife was stuck on someone else
The husband, he never knew

Honey, what's the matter?
Have I treated you so bad?
Did I give too little loving
When I gave you all I had
Now I want to hear you say
I'm still the one you choose
Can't believe another man will step into my shoes
Oh think about tomorrow
And all you stand to lose

Be morning soon and I'll wake up
Afraid to face the day
How am I gonna live without you, honey?
Please don't go away
