Lyrics:
I just got finished giving the hotel manager back the room key, and paid my bill
I was outside in the car, in the shadows of the parking lot
Telling the woman I was with how happy she made me
Kissin' and huggin'
And all of a sudden another car pulled up on the parking lot
But I couldn't believe my eyes
'Cause the woman that was sitting in the front seat beside another dude
Turned out to be my old lady
Lord, I was checkin' out
And she was checkin' in, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, oh yeah)
Oh, let me tell you people, I was checkin' out (Mhm)
An my old lady was checkin' in
Oh Lord, have mercy
I was with my other woman
And she, she was with her boyfriend
She waited outside, y'all, in the car
While he went in, yeah, to rent the room
I wanted to say something to her
But there was nothing I could say
'Cause the woman I was with
Yes, she was married, too
Lord, I was checkin' out
And she was checkin' in (Checkin' in)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Oh, yes she was)
Y'all, I saw another man took my old lady (Oh, took my baby)
Let me tell ya, in the Hideaway Motor Inn (Motor Inn, mhm)
Mmm, I was with my other woman
(Oh, I was treated wrong, yeah)
And she was with her boyfriend
She was supposed to be at home
Mindin' the kids
The both of us had been untrue (Ooh, ooh)
Guess I'll have to go on
Being blind
I can't reveal her guilt
Without showing mine
Lord, I was checkin' out
(Checkin' out, sho' nuff was)
As she was checkin' in, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Woo, hey)
Mmm, let me tell ya
What hurt me so bad, y'all
(Hurt me, really hurt me so bad)
Hurt me so bad (It hurt me)
The man gave them the same room I had
Yes, he did, yeah, yeah
(The same room, the same room I was in, yeah)
Mmm, what a terrible blow it was
(Such a terrible, terrible, terrible thing it was)
What a terrible thing to do to a man, yeah, yeah
(She was smilin', and she never smiles)
I think my debt has caught up with me, y'all
Lord, have mercy
