he would know

Singer:parton, dolly

in my mind i've made love to you often but only in my mind can it be so

cause there's someone at home that's countin' on me

and if i did i'm sure that he would know

yes he would know yes he could tell

for he has loved me long enough to know me very well

and if i lie he sees it in my eyes i know my guilt would show and he would know

but i must admit you're someone very special and it would be so easy to let go

making love to you could be so easy but if i did i'm sure that he would know

yes he would know. my conscience just won't let me make love to you

i know it would be sweet but i just can't

when i go home to him i must be able to look him in the eyes and say i ain't

cause he would know.
