Lyrics

Do the bad thing
Take off your wedding ring
But it wont make it that much easier, it might make it worse

Oh the nights like a whirlwind
Somebody's girlfriend's talkin' to me but its alright
She's sayin that hes not gonna slap me or try to attack me
Hes not the jealous type
And I ony need to get half an excuse and im away
But when theres no excuses thats much easier to say
I've been before
And all these capers make her too forward to ignore
Well she's talkin but im not entirely sure, ohh

Do the bad thing
Take off your wedding ring
But it wont make it that much easier, it might make it worse

Oh im stood at the bar and somebody's partner's talkin to me
But I dont know that is what she isnt she murmors things to confirm that the
Tragedy is true
And I knew 'how could she could have anyone she wants
And im strugglin to think of an immediate response

Like I dont mind
Be a big mistake
For you to wait
And let me waste your time
Really love its fine
Really love its fine

And then the first time it occured that there was something to destroy

I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy
Oh but she carried on suggestin, a struggle to refuse
She said "its the red wine this time, but that is no excuse"
