Jeannie C. Riley - Duty Not Desire lyrics

rate me

When my lips get kissed it's just from force of habit

For a long long time I've known what's going on

His pretending hasn't fooled me for a minute

And it's duty not desire that brings him home

My heart is a foot stool he uses and he only takes advantage of my love

The woman in me he abuses cause it's duty not desire that brings him home

[ piano ]

Oh does he think I'm such a fool that I don't notice

The changes that have taken a place in him

Where once there was pession now there's coldness

And the love once burning bright now burns so dim

My heart is a foot stool he uses...

Yes it's duty not desire that brings him home
