I had the key to heaven when we married and for a while I brought you happiness
But now your love for me is dead and buried
And every night you share another`s kiss
And I`d rather be the one you slip around with
And be the one who`s dream of love is gone
I`d rather be the one you spend your time with than be the one at home all alone
[ steel - fiddle ]
Deep down inside I know that I should leave you
How many tears was fallen before I learn
I think of many ways that I could grieve you and yet I`m always here when you return
And I`d rather be the one...
