When we got wed both of us said, it was until our dying day
I thought we were happy but you got snappy, before you went away
on a business trip with that blonde drip, you said her name was Kay
It wasn’t right and with hindsight, I should have begged you to stay
You were to go abroad, and work could afford to pay for meals and booze
But when I look back, suits I helped you pack were more apt for a cruise
You said that you’d booked into a large hotel, not a motel like we’d use
It was just for one week, I guess I was too weak to ask you to refuse
You promised to call me every day just to say that you loved me
No calls came through and my fears grew, I ask for you in suite 23
They said I was mistaken;’ Mr and Mrs Draken’ were in suite Hawaii!
I started crying knowing you’d been lying I’d proof of your infidelity
You were having an affair with that old mare, I never found out why
I was your loving wife it should have been for life, of that fact you can’t deny
Now I really miss your tender kiss, but our wedding vows you did defy
Sadly now you prefer to live with her, I’m so bereft I want to die
