I Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much
Womack Bobby Lyrics

I'm the best friend he's got
I am his closest friend and confidant.

I'd give him the shirt off my back
I am always willing to help him, no matter the circumstances.

He knows he can trust me with his life
He believes in my trustworthiness to take care of his life if needed.

But he's tryin' to leave me alone
He is trying to distance himself from me.

Leaves me alone with his wife
He leaves me alone with his wife, which makes me uncomfortable and nervous.

I wish he didn't trust me so much
I am afraid that he trusts me too much and it could lead to a potential affair with his wife.

I think he really trusts me too much
I believe that his level of trust in me is too high and may endanger his marriage.

How can he be so blind?
I wonder how he cannot see the potential consequences of leaving me alone with his spouse.

We've both got the same good taste
His wife and I have similar tastes, which makes it harder for me to resist her.

He should know when he's gone on his business trips
He should be aware of the risks of leaving me with his wife during his frequent business trips.

I can't help watchin' his woman
I find myself watching his wife when he's not around against my better judgment.

'Cause I'm losin' my grip
I feel like I'm losing control and might not be able to stop myself from cheating with her.

Though I swear, all is not my will
I am not trying to actively pursue an affair with her.

But there's a way
I cannot deny that there is an attraction between us.

There's a way she make me feel
She makes me feel a way that I cannot ignore.

Lord, I'm scared, so scared of what I do
I am afraid of the consequences if I give in to my desires.

If she starts feelin' the same way too
If she reciprocates my feelings, I might not be able to stop myself from cheating with her.

You shouldn't trust me so much
He should not trust me so much to risk his marriage.

(We got a problem)
He and I have a problem that needs to be addressed.

It's not that she leads me on
I cannot blame her for my feelings and actions.

I'm gettin' there all by myself
I am responsible for my actions and feelings towards his wife.

But just being with her all, all alone
Being alone with her is a temptation that I cannot resist.

I can't help but hopin'
I find myself hoping that he never comes home and catches us.

That he never comes home
I fear that he might find out and it would destroy our friendship.

I'm caught up
I am in a difficult situation that is hard to resolve.

Caught up in the middle
I am conflicted between my friendship with him and my feelings towards his wife.

And I'm down, tired of playing [Incomprehensible]
I am tired of pretending that everything is normal and keeping my feelings bottled up.
