One of the few country songs I've written. Pretty common inspiration for this one. :-D
Lyrics
Your mother often told you that the way to steal a young man’s heart
I’ve been living with my back against the wall
Too afraid I might step away and take the fall
Aint been living my life to the limit
Couldn’t even take it day by day
Until I met you, now I just don’t seem to care
It’s just another sordid love affair
Dangerous liaisons with curtains pulled up tight
Seedy motels keeping secrets in the night
Your body talking though you haven’t said a word
It speaks a language that I’ve never heard
Now that I’ve known you, I still don’t seem to care
It’s just another sordid love affair
I aint about to waste my time
Feeling guilty or telling lies
I’m tired of sneaking around or waiting in the rain
There’s talk out on the street
About the times we meet
It’s getting way too heavy with this sordid little love affair
You aint got nothing you can’t afford to lose
I didn’t think you’d ever make me choose
We’ve been together and I still don’t seem to care
It’s just another sordid love affair
I’ve been living with my back against the wall
Too afraid I might step away and take the fall
Aint been living my life to the limit
Couldn’t even take it day by day
Until I met you, now I just don’t seem to care
It’s just another sordid love affair
I aint about to waste my time
Feeling guilty or telling lies
I’m tired of sneaking around or waiting in the rain
There’s talk out on the street
About the times we meet
It’s getting way too heavy with this sordid little love affair
It’s getting way too heavy with this sordid little love affair
