Now I Lay Me Down To Cheat

Now I Lay Me Down To Cheat On the woman I love so And if I die between these sheets I pray to God she'll never know She's the best thing in his life Why she worships the ground that he walks on She waits up for him at night and worries Till he's safely home She always believes his stories about workin' over time And in 20 years beside him Cheatin's never crossed her mind Ah but it crossed his Early last summer In the person of a neighbor She still calls her friend And with a little push from drinkin' one too many One night in the fall, he gave in And now, he wishes he could stop himself But there's no easy way So he lays down with his lover And silently he prays In his heart and soul He knew he was playin' a game he could never win But ya know, forbidden fruit is sweet Why it was sweet enough to make him risk it all again And now, he's given up on lookin' for a way to fight the feelin' So he prays this simple pray And hopes it makes its makes it past the motel ceilin' Now I Lay Me Down To Cheat On the woman I love so And if I die between these sheets I pray to God she'll never know
