Short Term Affair

It's a short term affair

you're my children's au-pair

but I just couldn't bear

to keep my hands off you

I was barely eighteen

what you did was obscene

but to me it felt clean

what else was I to do?

The memory still lingers

you're cooking the kids fish-fingers

and ironing

Each morning you'd come down

in your paisley dressing gown

then you'd sing

and the yearning started for a

Short term affair

no intention to stray

I was caught in your snare

but my wife was away

it was so debonair

so I thought what the hey

I knew I couldn't resist

It was a short term affair

you're the man, you're the boss

when I found you right there

like the father I lost

cleaning our silver-ware

so to hell with the cost

right then at once we kissed

You took me to the kitchen

your hands kinda started twitchin'

I felt so shy

Nothing could stop what followed

lucky for me you swallowed

every lie

I know it's all over now

try to be strong somehow

I'll start a brand new life

please, please don't tell my wife

but I won't, I won't stop loving you

please, please don't tell my wife

au revoir, ciao, auf wiedersehen

we must never meet again
