The One You Slip Around With
Secret Desires Unveiled: Skeeter Davis' Tale of Forbidden Love
Lyrics
I'd rather be the one you slip around with
I'd prefer to be the person you have an affair with
Than be the one who's dream of love is gone
Rather than being the one whose dream of love has faded away
Yes, I'd rather be the one you spend your time with
Yes, I'd choose to be the one you invest your time in
Than be the one at home all alone
Instead of being the one left alone at home
I have the key to heaven when we married
I held the key to heaven when we got married
And for a while I brought you happiness
Initially, I brought you happiness
I can't believe your love for me is buried
I find it hard to believe that your love for me is now buried
And every night you share another's kiss
Every night, you share kisses with someone else
And I'd rather be the one you slip around with
I'd rather be the person you have an affair with
Than be the one who's dream of love is gone
Than be the one whose dream of love has faded away
And I'd rather be the one you spend your time with
And I'd choose to be the one you invest your time in
Than be the one at home all alone
Instead of being the one left alone at home
Deep down inside I know that I should leave you
Deep down, I acknowledge that I should leave you
How many tears must fall before I learn
How many tears must I shed before I learn
I think of many ways that I could grieve you
I consider many ways to grieve you
And yet I'm always here when you return
Yet, I'm always here when you come back
But I'd rather be the one you slip around with
I'd rather be the person you have an affair with
Than be the one who's dream of love is gone
Than be the one whose dream of love has faded away
Yes, I'd rather be the one you spend your time with
Yes, I'd choose to be the one you invest your time in
Than be the one at home all alone
Instead of being the one left alone at home
