I left our hometown for the weekend on a big business deal And I would close behind you my excuse is sharp and drill My only business is our pleasure and I don't bother things I won't Cause we're playing house away from home We're playing house away from home our names and faces are unknown Everyone thinks that we're man and wife We even wear our wedding rings and we don't try to hide this thing Cause we're playing house away from home [ steel ] We'll get up in the morning I'll go my way and I'll go mine And go home to act like strangers and hope no one can tell That we have left all the bills from actin' right and doin' wrong Cause we're playing house away from home We're playing house... Yes we're playing house away from home
