Lyrics

0:02Do the bad thing
0:05Take off your wedding ring
0:10But it won't make it that much easier
0:15It might make it worse
0:18The night's like a whirlwind
0:19Somebody's girlfriend is talking to me
0:21But it's alright she's saying
0:22That he's not gonna slap me
0:23Or try to attack me
0:25He's not the jealous type
0:26And I only need to get half an excuse and I'm away
0:31But when there's no excuses
0:33That's much easier to say
0:34I've been before
0:36And all these capers makers to the floor
0:39Then to ignore
0:40She's talking but I'm not entirely sure
1:01Do the bad thing
1:06Take off your wedding ring
1:12But it won't make it that much easier
1:15It might make it worse
1:19Oh im stood at the bar
1:20Somebody's partner is talking to me
1:22But I don't that is what she isn't
1:24She murmurs things to confirm the tragedy is true
1:25And I knew how could she not
1:28She could have anyone she wants
1:31And I'm struggling to think of an immediate response
1:35Like I don't mind
1:37Be a big mistake for you to wait
1:39And help me waste your time
1:41Really love it's fine
1:43Really love it's fine
2:01And the first time
2:02It occurred that there was something to destroy
2:05I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy
2:09Oh but she carried on suggesting
2:12I struggled to refuse
2:14She said "It's the red wine this time"
2:16But that is no excuse
2:18END
Do the bad thing
Take off your wedding ring
But it won't make it that much easier
It might make it worse
The night's like a whirlwind
Somebody's girlfriend is talking 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 makers to the floor
Then to ignore
She's talking but I'm not entirely sure
Do the bad thing
Take off your wedding ring
But it won't make it that much easier
It might make it worse
Oh im stood at the bar
Somebody's partner is talking to me
But I don't that is what she isn't
She murmurs things to confirm the tragedy is true
And I knew how could she not
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 help me waste your time
Really  love  it's fine
Really  love  it's fine
And 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
I struggled to refuse
She said "It's the red wine this time"
But that is no excuse
