Don't Tell Nobody

I was looking for a woman with some money,
You were looking for someone who could keep it up.
Our first glance was salacious but sweet as honey,
Our first taste was a wanton moment of love.

Don’t you tell nobody, don’t you tell no one.

What would your children say, with mummy entwined with another man?
And everybody in this Godforsaken town, would talk and put me down.

Don’t you tell nobody, don’t you tell no one.

You know I could never love you,
You know I would never try.
You to me are flesh for the taking,
I’ll be your constant alibi.

Don’t you tell nobody, don’t you tell no one.
Scratch your name across my back, in a couple of days these marks will be gone.

You have a husband and I have a wife, what sinners are we two?
Don’t look into my eyes when we get down to business.
Black satin sheets and the cognac flows - your part of the deal,
My part of the bargain you know I can always keep it.

Don’t you tell nobody, don’t you tell no one.

Your children are older than me,
your body is telling tales on you.
I can’t help myself,
I know you feel the same way too.

Don’t you tell nobody, don’t you tell no one.

If you should ever break this sinful union,
let it slip to someone when you’re stoned,
I swear that I will kill you,
And bury your body after crushing your bones.

Don’t you tell nobody, don’t you tell no one.
Scratch your name across my back, in a couple of days these marks will be gone.
