"The Bad Thing" lyrics

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 talkin' 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 her too forward to ignore
Well, she's talking 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 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 could have anyone she wants
And I'm struggling 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
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
