With One Exception

Hank Locklin · Softly [1969]

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)



I've seen lots of pretty faces in a million different places

And it's hard for me to keep from doing wrong

'Cause you're the cutest and the sweetest, you always dress the neatest

With one exception and she's waiting at home.



If I'd let temptation fill me I know your kiss would thrill me

And how easy it would be to lead you on

You're such a lovely girl you're perfect for my world

With one exception and she's waiting at home.



Sometimes I've almost cheated after all I'm just a man

Can't you see my world is wrapped up in a golden wedding band

I'd beg, steal or borrow and you'd be mine tomorrow

With one exception and she's waiting at home.



I'd beg, steal or borrow and you'd be mine tomorrow

With one exception and she's waiting at home...
