Now I Lay Me Down to Cheat
Now I lay me down to cheatOn the woman I love soAnd if I die between these sheetsI pray to God she'll never knowShe's the best thing in this lifeWhy she worships the ground that he walks onShe waits up for him at night and worriesUntil he's safely homeAnd she always believes his stories about working overtimeAnd in 20 years beside him cheatins never crossed her mindAw but it crossed hisEarly last summerIn a person of a neighbor that she still calls her friendAnd with a little push from drinkin one too many one night in the fall he gave inAnd now he wishes he could stop himselfBut theres no easy waySo he lays down with his loverAnd silently he praysNow I lay me down to cheatOn the woman I love soAnd if I die between these sheetsI pray to God she'll never knowLetras de cancionesIn his heart and soulHe knew he was playing a game he could never winBut ya know, forbidden fruit is sweetWhy it was sweet enough to make him risk it all againAnd now he's givin up on lookin for a wayTo fight the feelingSo he prays this simple prayAnd hope it makes it past the hotel ceilingNow I lay me down to cheatOn the woman I love soAnd if I die between these sheetsI pray to God she'll never know
