"The One You Slip Around With" lyrics

"The One You Slip Around With"

I'd rather be the one you slip around with
Than be the one who's dream of love is gone
Yes, I'd rather be the one you spend your time with
Than be the one at home all alone

I have the key to heaven when we married
And for a while
I brought you happiness
I can't believe your love for me is buried
And every night
You share another's kiss

And I'd rather be the one you slip around with
Than be the one who's dream of love is gone
And I'd rather be the one you spend your time with
Than be the one at home all alone

Deep down inside
I know that I should leave you
How many tears must fall before I learn?
I think of many ways that I could grieve you
And yet I'm always here when you return

But I'd rather be the one you slip around with
Than be the one who's dream of love is gone
Yes, I'd rather be the one you spend your time with
Than be the one at home all alone
