I was in love with a married woman an' I just couldn't help myself I was in love with a married woman an' I just couldn't help myself But I don't go 'round breakin' up families an' that's the reason why I left She looked at me like she could k** me when I said that we were through She looked at me like she could k** me when I said that we were through I'm on the side that's doin' the buildin' and not the wreckin' crew There are so many women that are footloose an' fancy free There are so many single women that are footloose an' fancy free So why should I fool with a married woman Who can't, can't do a thing for me?
