Act Like a Married Man

Jim Odom

You say you want to take me out so we can paint the town
Well, I don't care a thing about you're kind of running 'round
The town will go unpainted if you depend on me
I don't intend to wreck my life with a man who isn't free

You've got a good wife at home
You know she's never been untrue
She's got the whole world of fate
And fast and competence in you
How you can be unfaithful? I just can't understand
Now why don't you go home to your wife
And act like a married man

Well, I suppose you wonder why I say the things I say
Well, it's because I'm making plans to have a home someday
I want to be a good wife and never be untrue
And I don't want my man to be a cheater such as you

You've got a good wife at home
You know she's never been untrue
She's got the whole world of fate
And fast and competence in you
How you can be unfaithful? I just can't understand
Now why don't you go home to your wife
And act like a married man
