This is a tale of a boy, of a man Of a girl, of a wife For putting your hands Into trousers and knickers Can destroy a life Tension grows The signs of cavorting Still cling to his clothes Tension mounts He tells her that Platonic love never counts It's adultery, adultery Adultery, adultery In every kitchen There's people who listen Through cracks in the walls So she plays the fly As he lets in his love Through a sullied back door She screams no Her eyes are transparently Starting to glow She shouts yes And figures that it's A good time to confess To adultery, adultery
Tears in the morning Adultery, adultery No signs of warning Adultery He never said he loved her that much She never acts like she cared at all for conversation So when you're living without being touched There's no surprise That there will be deviation Everything's ending There's no use pretending Our couple are fine Her love is expiring While he sits perspiring Just playing out time Tension builds Just thinks of the children He wills and she spills Tears from eyes So tired and blinded By subtext and lies It's adultery, adultery Adultery, adultery
