You say you fear I've been untrue,
but no one holds a candle to
yourself. You simply can't be beat....
They can't compete.
You heard my secretary's got
a bust that's big, a bod that's hot
and acts like she's a bitch in heat,
Miss Marguerite.
I never touched the girl I swear;
I don't know how her underwear
got in my car behind the seat....
I did not cheat.
That message on my mobile phone
declaring she was all alone;
would I come by and rub her feet...
was meant for Pete.
Now that receipt in black and white
revealing that we stayed the night
in Hilton's Honeymooners' Suite....
That's counterfeit.
And Tom, that Private Eye you hired,
you know he really should be fired.
Those dodgy pics from eighty feet
are incomplete.
You have a friend who claims she saw
us through a window in the raw.
Your friends, I have to say, my sweet,
are indiscreet.
Those emails that you say you read
about the joys we found in bed,
the evidence is gone, petite,
I hit delete.
And now you say you tracked us here,
but look, I am alone, my dear.
You see her butt beneath the sheet?
Oh, damn! Defeat!
