Little did she know
The ring wouldn't go with him out to the bar
Newlyweds,
Barely out of bed, and now he's leavin' in another girl's car
She should've known when she took him home and stole him from another
He'd do the same thing with a wedding ring and leave it for a lover
She thought she could change all of the things that kept him out at night
But even gold can't hold a man who sold his home for motel lights
Now these motel lights flicker outside my door
Well I guess I deserve everything I get and more
And that vacancy reminds me of what I've got in store
As these motel lights flicker outside my door
He sells a lie
She still wants to buy, but that can't last for long
Who wants to wait
At home all day for a man who never wants to come home
She can't keep the faith at home all day and her mind begins to stray
She starts to think about havin' a drink at a little place down the way
She can't believe she's about to leave the home she tried to build
But she gets in her car with a man from the bar up to her neck in guilt
Now these motel lights flicker outside my door
Well I guess I deserve everything I get and more
And that vacancy reminds me of what I've got in store
As these motel lights flicker outside my door
