When my lips get kissed it's just from force of habit For a long long time I've known what's goin' 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 a love was pession now there's coldness And the love once burnin' bright now burns so dim My heart is a foot stool... Yes it's duty not desire that brings him home
