GYou say you want to take me out so Cwe can paint the town
Well GI don't care a thing about your kind of runnin' D7round
The Gtown will go unpainted if Cyou depend on me
I Gdon't intend to wreck my life D7with a man who isn't Gfree
You've got a good wife at D7home you know she's Cnever been unGtrue
She's got the whole world of D7faith and trust and Cconfidence in Gyou
How Cyou can be unfaithful I just can't understand
Now Gwhy don't you go home to your wife and D7act like a married Gman
Well I suppose you wonder why I Csay the things I say
Well Git's because I'm makin' plans to have a home someD7day
I Gwant to be a good wife and Cnever be untrue
And GI don't want my man to be a D7cheater such as Gyou
You've got a good wife at D7home you know she's Cnever been unGtrue
She's got the whole world of D7faith and trust and Cconfidence in Gyou
How Cyou can be unfaithful I just can't understand
Now Gwhy don't you go home to your wife and D7act like a married Gman
