You told me things and I believed them all
You disappeared at times, but that didn't matter at all
Mmm, those lonely nights I waited for your call
I didn't notice then

You were someone's husband
My desire for you is strong, but I do wrong
You're that lady's husband
My decency prevails, yes, it does
And it won't let me keep you, no

So I'm letting you go
Letting you go
So I'm letting you go
Letting you go

You satisfied a real desire in me
Before I followed you, I-I still had those needs
Well, I'm a lady with class and I know my desire will pass
This could not occur

Because you are her husband
My desire for you is strong and I won't do wrong
˜Cause I know in my heart that you are hers
I know, I know you are her husband
That's why I've got to let you go
Desire says I should, but I say no (I say no)

Shooby dooby dooby dooby doo doo
Mmm...mmm...
Shooby dooby dooby dooby doo dooby doo doo

I may not be all that I want to be
I've been a fool before and I did things I deplore
But after it if Shirley's gonna be a fool
A fool for him and then

That man has got to be my husband
My desire for you is strong and I won't do wrong

So I'm letting you go
Letting you go (Darling, I slide)
So I'm letting you go
Letting you go

Because you are her husband
My desire for you is strong and I won't do wrong
˜Cause I know in my heart that you are hers
I know, I know you are her husband
That's why I've got to let you go
Desire says I should, but I say no, oh, oh (No, no, no, no, no, no)
My body says I should, but I say no (No, no, no, no, no, no)
Mister you say I should, but I say no (No, no, no, no, no)
Desire says I should, but I say no
