The Woman Down the Street
Don't let the ring on her finger
Or the baby on her hip
Trick you into thinking
You don't need to worry about
The woman down the street.
Don't let the three year commitment
Or his words of sweet serenity
Trick you into thinking
You don't need to worry about
The man in your bed.
When you're working late
Or out with friends
The woman down the street
And the man in your bed
Sneak through the shadows of the night
To betray your trust.
Don't be tricked into thinking
You don't need to worry about
The woman down the street.
