Tonight is like to work late and I just can't stay home A few dreams with an old friend somehow don't seem so wrong But a dream or two a friendly kiss just wets my appetite Oh conscience keep an eye on me tonight I can't be true to someone who thinks the world of me And what the girl he thinks I am is all I'd like to be But when temptations beckon I can't tell wrong from right Oh conscience keep an eye on me tonight It's hard to face the man I love with a heart so full of shame If and when I lose him well I know who's to blame I don't know why I'm not like this it's something I must hide Oh conscience keep an eye on me tonight
