Betrayal
He holds my hands so gently and tells me I’ll be fine
Says he will always love me – he is a lying swine
Tenderly wipes away my tears and holds me in his arms
I can’t believe I’ve wasted my life and fallen for his charms
He tries to explain the reasons why he has to leave
Got back with his ex wife and now my heart does grieve
He’d promised me it was all over and I one day I’d be his bride
We’ve been together for two years, I’ve been taken for a ride
My heart is bruised and broken from his shock confession
I loved him oh so dearly I must teach this man a lesson
I look longingly at him and stare into his dark brown eyes
This man I once so adored now I do despise
How do I admit to her the wife was never my ex
That was just a line because I wanted sex
Four days with one and three days working away
Both of them believing every word I say.
They have seen the king and I, so both should see
We men are made to flit from bee to bee
The wife was always too busy with our three kids
A mistress was alright for a while but now I must get rid
Besides, she'll forgive me , women always do
No matter the lies we keep on telling you
When I get fed up with the wife I'll be back for more
So keep my carpet slippers by the front door.
Got bad news for you, it‘s now the end of your game
Your wife knows all about me, she even knows my name
Because she heard you talking in your sleep
Some secrets like me were hard to keep
So now you will discover your wife’s true feeling
She’s seen a lawyer and soon you’ll be reeling
Tried to have your cake and eat it too
Well Buddy she’s now divorcing YOU
