"Married Ladies" lyrics

Married Ladies

He ordered up another beer
That didn't want to just 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 wasn't this so many woman
In a booth way in the back
He could see I was having a good old time
Wearing some cowboy's hat

And when upon 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 mеn
If you think I'm waiting at home for you
Honey, think again

Married ladiеs
Play the games
The stakes are just as high
So if you think that cheating's bad to do
Well, honey, so do I
Yeah, 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 the 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 mеn
If you think I'm waiting at home for you
Well, honey, think again

Married ladiеs
Play the games
The stakes are just as high
So if you think that cheating's bad to do
Well, honey, so do I
Honey, so do I

I bet you that I wouldn't
Never do that again
Cause I put him in his place
