Lyrics
CATCH UP TO YOU
I saw you sneakin' out the back door from the corner of my eye.
I followed you so discretely, caught you with another guy.
I could almost hear you whisper, things at home, they're really tough.
Now you're in the lap of that stranger. Seems I wasn't quite enough.
Seems I wasn't quite enough.
chorus:
Every lame excuse, indescrition of your your youth, every inconvenient truth
is gonna catch up - catch up to you some day.
You confessed your sneakin' to the preacher in hopes he might sympathize.
He laid a hand on your forehead, placed the other on your thighs.
I told myself I could forgive you, if you would only change your ways.
But you took off down the road with that preacher man to continue your cheatin' days,
you continued your cheatin' days.
chorus:
