Duty Not Desire Lyrics

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
