Why won't you cheat with me?

You and I both know you've done it before

And it sounds so sweet to be

Seeing you less but enjoying it more

In absolute secrecy

Over a period of several months

Maybe infrequently

Maybe a dozen times, maybe just once

But you say you think I'm too good for that

Does that mean I'm not good enough?

'Cause I'd be in your place in seconds flat

If you'd call me over then I'd call your bluff

Why won't you cheat with me?

You and I both know that she's done the same

And she's got some cheek to be

Staking you out like some prospector's claim

So if you want my company

Just give her the slip any way you prefer

And if she gets uppity

Well we can just say that you learned it from her

But you say you think I'm too good for that

And that's just the point that I'm past

'Cause I'd be in her place in seconds flat

We'd call down the walls with just one trumpet blast

And it's not like we're tearing down

The house of more than gingerbread

It's not like we're bringing down the wrath of heaven on our heads

Why won't you, why won't you, why

Won't you, why won't you cheat with me?

Why are you so afraid of such an innocent inquiry?

'Cause it's not like we're tearing down the wrath of heaven
