Midnight 
And her porchlight's on 
The signal 
That her man is gone 
She'll open her back door wide 
I'll slip down the alley, then slip inside 

She's waiting 
Just inside the door 
In perfume 
Probably nothing more 
She'll greet me with her arms spread wide 
Hit by the darkness, we'll fly, fly, fly 

Standing here 
I feel just like a criminal 
Returning to the seen of the crime 
Every time that we steal these loving hours 
We promise that it will be the last time 

Sneak out 
Just before the dawn 
Knowing that we've done her man wrong 
He's out working while we're at plays 
And my conscious hounds me 
The whole long day 
Mmmmm 

Sun down 
My blood starts to stir 
All my thoughts go back to her 
At midnight my guilt will ease 
And I'll be watching her porchlight 
Begging baby, please, please, please 

Standing here 
I feel just like a criminal 
Returning to the seen of the crime, yeah, yeah, yeah 
And every time that we steal these loving hours 
When we're stealing, when we're stealing it 
We promise that it will be the last time, yeah
