Testo Should I Betray? Richard Thompson
Should I betray you to Charlene?
She doesnât know the things Iâve seen
She must still think youâre Mr. Clean
Just like the man she wed
Should I betray you to your spouse?
The wife who waits back at the house
She doesnât know that youâre a louse
Thatâs not the man she wed
She doesnât know the deals you make
The throats you cut, the vows you break
To buy up some old ladyâs stake
Quick before sheâs dead
She doesnât see your oily smarm
You pour on in the place of charm
When youâve got some shopgirl by the arm
Steering her into bed
That virgin forest you chopped down
To build another ugly town
Iâll tell your wife you bribed them round
To back your plan instead
But perhaps she doesnât want to see
The heel that you turned out to be
Thatâs why sheâll take a gin or three
To drive doubts from her head
While sheâs working hard enough
With housework, kids, and all that stuff
Youâre out there with some bit of fluff
Cruising on the Med
She thought the leopardâs spots were paint
She thought sheâd turn you to a saint
Kept hoping, though the hope grew faint
That you were better bred
