Someone Else’s Arms

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

With a free local call

He'll be free for the night

And he lets it ring but no one's there to answer

Then he wonders where his wife could be

And hopes there's nothing wrong

And it's times like this he's glad that he can trust her

'Cause 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 waiting 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 nothing 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)
