Negatory Romance

(album: Faster Horses - 1976)

He's wanting her more than he's wanting 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
Sneaking in the back door that ain't no 10-4 it's a negatory romance
It's a real breaker maker when your heart is a taker it's a negatory romance

Now girl don't go chasing a man who ain't free
You know there are plenty of fish in the sea
So girl don't go chasing whatever wears pants
That's another example of a negatory romance
Sneaking in the back door...

Slipping around on the back streets of life
Changing your handle for one cheating night
Sliding off your gold band just so you can dance
That's another example of a negatory romance
Sneaking in the back door...
