The Last Thing I Planned To Do Today Was Cheat

(albüm: This Dream's On Me - 1982)

I fed an old stray dog this morning 'cause he looked hungry
I gave an old wino a dollar
'Cause he was begging on the street
Because you're what you are to me I sent the roses
Oh, the last thing I planned to do today was cheat

I had some time to kill and felt a little thirsty
I went inside the local bar
And in the corner took a seat
Had my first cool sip then noticed she was crying
Oh, the last thing I planned to do today was cheat

But you know I've always been so tender hearted
I just couldn't stand to watch her hurt that way
And when she said how much she wanted me to hold her
I just didn't have the heart to turn away

Well, I'm feeling guilty now, but I sure found it hard to leave her
'Cause there she lay, sleeping all alone between the sheets

I thought of your sweet love and all my good intentions
Oh, the last thing I planned to do today was cheat
Oh, the last thing I planned to do today was cheat
