All the bedroom lights go out

As the neighbourhood gets quiet

Everything in heaven and earth is almost right

But there's a wife who's wondering where her husband could be tonight

And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright


Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him

He was late this time last week

Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim

'Cause the baby isn't old enough to speak


Chorus:

There's been a long honeymoon

She thought too late and spoke too soon

There's no money back guarantee on future happiness

There's been a long honeymoon

If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins

She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this


All the movies and the papers

Feature the murders of lonely women

If he isn't in by ten she'll call up her best friend

Why doesn't he come home

Why does her friend's phone keep on ringing

Maybe she should just pretend


(Chorus)


Be as strong as this...
