"Someone Else's Arms" lyrics

He's worn that ring so long
Sometimes he forgets it's on
His memory is failing him again tonight
So he meets an old girlfriend
Down at the Red Roof Inn
And with a free local call
He'll be free for the night

And he lets it ring but no one's there to answer
And he wonders where his wife could be
And hopes there's nothin' wrong
And it's times like this he's glad that he can trust her
Because he couldn't bear the thought
Of her in someone else's arms

In a bar just south of town
She lets him buy one more round
Then he tells her she's welcome
To follow him back to his place
She swears she can't stay long
'Cause there's somebody waitin' at home
But an evening of freedom
Is just a phone call away

And she lets it ring but no one's there to answer
And she wonders where her husband is
And hopes there's nothin' wrong
And it's times like this she's glad that she can trust him
Because she couldn't bear the thought
Of him in someone else's arms

And it's times like this they're glad they trust each other
'Cause he couldn't bear the thought
Of her in someone else's arms
No, she couldn't bear the thought
Of him in someone else's arms
As they lie there in the darkness
In someone else's arms (someone else's arms)
