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
