Married Ladies

(album: Who Was That Stranger - 1988)

You ordered up another beer
I didn't just want to get stoned
'Cause I could hear him bragging to his buddies
How his little woman was sitting at home
He's slipping his ring off his finger
Looking for a possible score
But when he saw me
His mouth dropped open and his beer fell to the floor

Well, if [?] woman
[?] in the back
He could see I was having a good old time
Wearing some cowboy's hat
And right then he pulled me aside
And said, "Hey woman, what're you trying to do?"
I said, "Don't worry, darling
I wouldn't do nothing you wouldn't do too"

You see, married ladies break the rules just like the married men
If you think I'm waiting at home for you, honey, think again
Married ladies play the games, the stakes are just as high
So if you think that cheating's bad to do, honey so do I
Honey, so do I

He was really mad all the way home
I tell you he was burning my ears
But we were going home together
So my message had got through clear
Since that night, he's a different man
He never steps out of line
I still let him do what he wants to do
But he knows what to keep in mind

You see, married ladies break the rules just like the married men
If you think I'm waiting at home for you, honey, think again
Married ladies play the games, the stakes are just as high
So if you think that cheating's bad to do, honey so do I
Honey, so do I
