Act Like A Married Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You Say you want to take me out so we can paint the town
Well I don't care a thing about you're kind of running round
The town will go unpainted if you depend on me
I don't indend to wreck my life with a man who isn't free
You've got a good wife at home you know she's never been untrue
She's got the whole world of fate and fast and competence in you
How you can be unfaithful I just can't understand
Now why don't you go home to your wife and act like a married man
[ fiddle - piano - guitar ]
Well I suppose you wonder why I say the things I say
Well it's because I'm making plans to have a home someday
I want to be a good wife and never be untrue
And I don't want my man to be a cheater such as you
You've got a good wife...
