The Bad Thing |
| Do the bad thing |
| Take off your wedding ring |
| But it won’t make it that much easier |
| It might make it worse |
| Oh, the night’s like a whirlwind |
| Somebody’s girlfriend’s talking to me, but it’s alright |
| She’s saying that he’s not gonna slap me or try to attack me |
| He’s not the jealous type |
| And I only need to get half an excuse and I’m away |
| But when there’s no excuses, that’s much easier to say |
| I’ve been before |
| And all these capers make us too good for her to ignore |
| See, she’s talking but I’m not entirely sure |
| Do the bad thing |
| Take off your wedding ring |
| But it won’t make it that much easier |
| It might make it worse |
| Oh, a sudden disheartener |
| Somebody’s partner’s talking to me |
| But I don’t know that is what she isn’t |
| She murmurs things to confirm that the tragedy is true |
| And I knew, how could she not? |
| She could have anyone she wants |
| And I’m struggling to think of an immediate response |
| Like, «I don’t mind, it’d be a big mistake for you to wait |
| And let me waste your time |
| Really, love, it’s fine» |
| I said, «Really, love, it’s fine» |
| And then the first time it occurred that there was something to destroy |
| I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy |
| Oh, but she carried on suggesting, a struggle to refuse |
| She said, «It's the red wine this time,» but that is no excuse |
