I was in love with a married woman an' I just couldn't help myself

I was in love with a married woman an' I just couldn't help myself

But I don't go 'round breakin' up families an' that's the reason why I left

She looked at me like she could kill me when I said that we were through

She looked at me like she could kill me when I said that we were through

I'm on the side that's doin' the buildin' and not the wreckin' crew

There are so many women that are footloose an' fancy free

There are so many single women that are footloose an' fancy free

So why should I fool with a married woman

Who can't, can't do a thing for me?
