Lyrics
Negatory Romance
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.
He's wantin' her more than he's wantin' his wife
Buddy that's a good way to screw up your life
He sneaks off to see her when he gets a chance
That's a perfect example of a negatory romance.
Sneakin' in the back door that ain't no tempo
It's a negatory romance
It's a real break of breaker when your heart is a taker
It's a negatory romance.
Now girl don't go chasin' a man who ain't free
You know there are plenty of fish in the sea
So girl don't go chasin' whatever wears pants
That's another example of a negatory romance.
Sneakin' in the back door that ain't no tempo
It's a negatory romance
It's a real break of breaker when your heart is a taker
It's a negatory romance.
Slippin' around on the back streets of life
Changin' your handle for one cheatin' night
Slidin' off your gold band just so you can dance
That's another example of a negatory romance.
Sneakin' in the back door that ain't no tempo
It's a negatory romance
It's a real break of breaker when your heart is a taker
It's a negatory romance...
