lyrics

A Good Reason for Cheating

There’s a woman down at work, she’s sure got it bad for me.
She struts by and flirts, yeah even a fool could see.
She says, “A golden wedding band never stopped any man, let’s have a drink when we get off at three!”
Well, she kind of got me thinking ‘bout a good reason for cheating.

How about that time in ’85 when our son was born
you barely did survive, or just maybe…
even farther back before we said, “I do,”
your Daddy screamed, “He’ll never marry you,”
and you cried, “Want to bet me!”
Or the way you held me in your arms last night as
we made love and I could barely, barely keep breathing.
Yeah, she kind of got me thinking ‘bout, a good reason for cheating.

I’m just a man, no more or no less,
I won’t stand here and lie, I’ve thought to myself,
what it might be like to see her undress as she turns out the light and lays down beside me.

Oh, oh, oh the precious way you hold me in your arms each time when we make love and I can barely, barely keep breathing.
Yeah, she kind of got me thinking ‘bout a good reason for cheating,
Oh, oh, oh, no matter how I try I can’t find a good reason for cheating.
