Conscience Where Were You Lyrics

You came to me this mornin' several hours late
I looked for you last night she would not wait
You tell me I"ve been cheatin' your voice cuts like a knife
But conscience where were you when I needed you last night

Her lips held on like honey her eyes were secret blue
While you were gone my arms were so untrue
I started once to leave her but her skin was all night white
Conscience where were you when I needed you last night.

Conscience where were you when passion started pushing
Where were you when she came on just right
You know I love my woman I'd never make her cry
Conscience where were you when I needed you last night

--- Instrumental ---

I started once to leave her but her skin was all night white
Conscience where were you when I needed you last night.

Conscience where were you when I needed you last night...
