SONG SYNOPSIS:
“This ballad is a true love story about falling in-love with a married man. I thought he was going to end the marriage, but he was just stringing me along. It was a very painful experience & a life lesson I never repeated. In 1984 while living in Washington, DC, the song was recorded on reel-to-reel with the DC Unlimited Band, other layers were added in Las Vegas years later. The reels were recently digitized & we re-recorded the vocals in 2023!” — Lady J Huston

Here we are back together again
I just don't ever seem, to ever win, oh no
Because baby number two
Is not what I want between me and you
Oh, when you love me so right
I want you to be with me all night
Baby when you go home to your wife, I can't even put up a fight
But it's Tearing Me Apart, Tearing Me Apart, Tearing Me Apart
Baby when you go home to your wife, I can't even put up a fight
But it's Tearing Me Apart, Tearing Me Apart, Tearing Me Apart
Oh, every time I have the strength to leave
You come and put that good lovin’ on me
Well, it just won't work no more
I'm getting tired of you walking out that front door
Just when it's really getting good to me
You say I'm sorry baby but I got to leave
Baby when you go home to your wife, I can't even put up a fight
But it's Tearing Me Apart, Tearing Me Apart, Tearing Me Apart
Whoa, baby when you go home to your wife, I can't even put up a fight
But it's Tearing Me Apart, Tearing Me Apart, Tearing Me Apart
Whoa, baby oh baby, I just can't, I just can't, take it no more
Well, it's Tearing Me Apart, you keep playing with my heart
Oh, don't you know I need you baby, I gots to, gots to have you baby
Well, it's Tearing Me Apart, say, ooh
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know
Hey baby, baby, baby; hey baby, baby, baby; hey baby, uhm
Oh, whoa, baby when you go home to your wife, I can't even put up a fight
But it's Tearing Me Apart, Tearing Me Apart, Tearing Me Apart
Whoa, baby when you go home to your wife, I can't even put up a fight
But it's Tearing Me Apart
