Lyric He Would Know

HE WOULD KNOW
Writer Dolly Parton
Copyright 1975

In my mind I ve made love to you often but only in my mind can it be so
Cause there s someone at home that s countin on me
And if I did I m sure that he would know
Yes he would know yes he could tell
For he has loved me long enough to know me very well
And if I lie he sees it in my eyes I know my guilt would show and he would know
But I must admit you re someone very special and it would be so easy to let go
Making love to you could be so easy but if I did I m sure that he would know
Yes he would know...
My conscience just won t let me make love to you
I know it would be sweet but I just can t
When I go home to him I must be able to look him in the eyes and say I ain t
Cause he would know...
