1
Now I lay me down to cheat
2
On the woman I love so
3
And if I die between these sheets
4
I pray to God she'll never know
5
She's the best thing in this life
6
Why she worships the ground that he walks on
7
She waits up for him at night and worries
8
Until he's safely home
9
And she always believes his stories about working overtime
10
And in 20 years beside him cheatins never crossed her mind
11
Aw but it crossed his
12
Early last summer
13
In a person of a neighbor that she still calls her friend
14
And with a little push from drinkin one too many one night in the fall he gave in
15
And now he wishes he could stop himself
16
But theres no easy way
17
So he lays down with his lover
18
And silently he prays
19
Now I lay me down to cheat
20
On the woman I love so
21
And if I die between these sheets
22
I pray to God she'll never know
23
In his heart and soul
24
He knew he was playing a game he could never win
25
But ya know, forbidden fruit is sweet
26
Why it was sweet enough to make him risk it all again
27
And now he's givin up on lookin for a way
28
To fight the feeling
29
So he prays this simple pray
30
And hope it makes it past the hotel ceiling
31
Now I lay me down to cheat
32
On the woman I love so
33
And if I die between these sheets
34
I pray to God she'll never know
