Should I Betray? Richard Thompson
Should I Betray? Â
[Cm]Should I betray you to your spouse?
[D7]The wife who waits back at the house
[Bbm]She doesnâ??t know that youâ??re a louse
Thatâ??[Fm]s not the man she wed
She doesnâ??t know the deals you make
The throats you cut, the vows you break
To buy up some old ladyâ??s stake
Quick before sheâ??s dead
[C#m]She doesnâ??t see your oily smarm
You [Absus4]pour on in the place of charm
[C#m]When youâ??ve got some shopgirl by the arm
[Absus4]Steering her into bed
That virgin forest you chopped down
To build another ugly town
Iâ??ll tell your wife you bribed them round
To back your plan instead
But perhaps she doesnâ??t want to see
The heel that you turned out to be
Thatâ??s why sheâ??ll take a gin or three
To drive doubts from her head
While sheâ??s working hard enough
With housework, kids, and all that stuff
Youâ??re out there with some bit of fluff
Cruising on the Med
She thought the leopardâ??s spots were paint
She thought sheâ??d turn you to a saint
Kept hoping, though the hope grew faint
That you were better bred
