Lyrics:
I met her on the way to Chicago
Where she was all alone
And so was I so I asked her for her name
She smiled and looked at me
I was surprised to see
That a woman like that was really into me

She said she didn't have no man
Raised the kids the very best she can
(she's lovin' me)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(she's wanting me)
She said just to give her a page
Fifty nine was the code she gave
(she's lovin' me)
She'd lie to you, lie to me
But she was lovin me, lovin me, yeah

I never would have thought
She was living like that
Her words seemed so sincere
And when I held her near
She would tell me how she feels
It felt so real to me
This girl she had to be
An angel sent from heaven just for me

She said that she didn't have no man
Raised the kids the very best she can
(she's lovin' me)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(she's wanting me)

She said just to give her a page
Fifty nine was the code she gave
(she gave to me)
She'd lie to you, lie to me
'Cause she was lovin' me, lovin' me
Yeah (look whos lovin' me)
She tried to live a double life
Lovin' me while she was still your wife
(she's wanting me)
She thought that lovin' me was cool
With you at work and the kids at school
(she's lovin' me)
She said that it would never end
Tried to keep me anyway she can
(she's wanting me)
She'd lie to you, lie to me,
But you got a family, family, yeah

I didn't know she was already spoken for
'Cause I'm not that kind of man
I swear that
I woulda' never looked her way
Now I feel so much shame
And all things have to change
You should know that
I'm holdin' her to blame

She said she didn't have no man
Raised the kids the very best she can
(holding her to blame)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(holding her to blame)
She said just to give her a page
Fifty nine was the code she gave
(holding her to blame)
She'd lie to you, lie to me
While she was lovin' me, lovin' me, yeah
She tried to live a double life
Lovin' me while she was still your wife
(holding her to blame)
She thought that lovin' me was cool
With you at work and the kids at school
(holding her to blame)
She said that it would never end
Tried to keep me any way she can
(holding her to blame)
She'd lie to you, lie to me
'Cause she had a family, family, yeah
(angel sent from heaven just for me)

She said she didn't have no man
Raised the kids the very best she can
(look she's lovin' me)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(look who's lovin' me)
She said just to give her a page
Fifty nine was the code she gave
(lovin' me)
She'd lie to you, lie to me
While she was lovin' me, lovin' me, yeah
(look who's lovin' me)

She tried to live a double life
Lovin' me while she was still your wife
(she was wantin' me)
She thought that lovin' me was cool
With you at work and the kids at school
(she was lovin' me)
She said that it would never end
Tried to keep me any way she can
(she was wantin' me)
She'd lie to you, lie to me
'Cause she had a family, family, yeah
