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 nights like a whirlwind
Somebody's girlfriend's talkin' to me
But it,s alright
She's sayin 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 her too forward to ignore
Well, She's talkin but I'm not entirely sure, oh

Do the bad thing
Take off your wedding ring
But it won't make it that much easier
It might make it worse

Oh, I'm stood at the bar
And somebody's partner's talkin to me
But I don't know that is what she isn't
She murmors things to confirm that the tragedy is true
And I knew how could she could have anyone she wants
And I'm strugglin to think of an immediate response

Like "I don't mind
Be a big mistake
For you to wait
And let me waste your time
Really love, it's fine"
Said "really love, it's fine"

And then the first time it occured
That there was something to destroy
I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy
Oh, but she carried on suggestin
A struggle to refuse
She said "it's the red wine this time"
But that is no excuse
