Verse 1:
Her letter sounded tempting - wanting to meet me in the park
Sometimes I'd like to kick up my heels again - & go for midnight strolls in the dark
Her offer opened mem'ries - from the days when she was mine
So I wrote her back - but this is how it's signed.
Chorus:
Happily married in Houston - so I've gotta say, "No".
Thanks for the invitation - It's just that I can't go
I'm Happily married in Houston - & I'm gonna stay true
It's a commitment I've made - it's not gonna fade - it's what I wanna do.
Verse 2:
I told her not to take it wrong - I'm flattered, yes, it's true
I know I'd like to still be friends but I don't think it's what she wants to do.
Things have changed so greatly since our love has passed in time
So I wrote her back & this is how it's signed
Chorus
Bridge:
Sure I've thought of a fling at times - felt tied down - not flying free
But when I think of all that I could lose - I don't want that happening to me
I'm Happily married in Houston - & I'm gonna stay true
It's a commitment I've made - it's not gonna fade - it's what I wanna do.
