You wake up in the morning 
And you're not feeling quite the same 
You feel a gentle hand upon you 
But you seem to have forgotten her name 
You put on your clothes 
You're heading home 
You're hoping and praying you won't be all alone 
Chorus: When you get there 
When you get there 
You haven't had a chance to think 
About explaining where you slept till noon 
You can't say you were working all night 
Cause it's 
Sunday afternoon 
The truth is too hard 
You'll never come back '
Cause a one night stand is not worth the attack 
Chorus: When you get there 
When you get there 
You're walking up to our front door 
As my face comes into view 
You think you've got a pretty good lie 
You say you slept at 
Mary Lou's 
You open the door 
You start telling lies 
But then from the hall 
You hear Mary 
Lou cry Chorus: 
When you get there 
When you get there 
When you get there 
When you get there
