Lyrics Now I Lay Me Down to Cheat

Now I lay me down to cheat on the woman I love so

And if I die between these sheets

I pray to God she'll never know

She's the best thing in this life

Why she worships the ground that he walks on

She waits up for him at night and worries until he's safely home

And she always believes his stories about workin' overtime

And in twenty years beside him cheatin's never crossed her mind

Oh but it crossed his

Early last summer

In a person of a neighbor that she still calls her friend

And with a little push from drinkin' one too many one night in the fall he gave in

And now he wishes he could stop himself but there's no easy way

So he lays down with his lover and silently he prays

Now I lay me down to cheat on the woman I love so

And if I die between these sheets

I pray to God she'll never know

In his heart and soul he knew that he was playin' a game he could never win

But you know forbidden fruit is sweet

Why it was sweet enough to make him risk it all again

And now he's givin' up on lookin' for a way to fight the feelin'

So he prays this simple prayer and hope it makes it past the hotel ceilin'

Now I lay me down to cheat on the woman I love so

And if I die between these sheets

I pray to God she'll never know
