If you think it's smart to be untrue
Then don't complain if I start cheating too
Should I be bound while you go fancy free
What's good for you should be alright for me

   If it's right for you to cheat and lie
   It can't be wrong for me to break the tie
   Should I be bound while you go fancy free
   What's good for you should be alright for me

If it's fair for you to run around
How can you feel that I should be tied down
I'm human too so why can't you agree
What's good for you should be alright for me

   If it's right for you to cheat and lie
   It can't be wrong for me to break the tie
   Should I be bound while you go fancy free
   What's good for you should be alright for me
