(Inspired by Stevie Wonder’s “Part-time Lover”)
The cheating man believes he is so clever.
He makes up lame excuses to go and see
his mistress, yet he does not want to sever
his marriage, for no decency has he.
He doesn’t seem to realize his wife
can possibly be “onto” him. The fool
prefers to have two women in his life.
Ignoring marriage vows just makes him cruel.
Those cheating ways can blind this kind of man.
Some wives can feel the vibes this guy gives out.
Such wives can also come up with a plan.
He thinks he’s smart when he is but a lout.
She can find a lover too . . . or perhaps
get evidence and make his world collapse.
