Chorus:
Do the bad thing
Take off your wedding ring
But it won't make it that much easier
It might make it worse
Oh, the night's like a whirlwind
Somebody's girlfriend is talking
to me but it's alright
She's saying that he's not gonna
slap me or try to attack me
He's not the jealous type
And I only need to get half an excuse
and I'm away
But when there's no excuses that's much easier
to say
I've been before and all these capers make
her too forward to ignore
She's talking but I'm not entirely sure
chorus
Oh, I'm stood at the bar and somebody's partner's
talking to me but I don't know what that is
What she isn't she murmurs things
to confirm that the tragedy is true
And I knew "how could she not, she could have anyone she wants"
And I'm struggling to think of an immediate response,
Like "I don't mind, be a big mistake for you
to wait and help me waste your time
Really love it's fine", said "really love it's fine"
And the first time it occurred that there was something to destroy
I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy
Oh, but she carried on suggesting, I struggled to refuse
She said "it's the red wine this time but that is no excuse"
