Jean Shepard Act Like A Married Man Lyrics

Act Like A Married Man Lyrics

You Say you want to take me out so we can paint the town

Well I don't care a thing about you're kind of running round

The town will go unpainted if you depend on me

I don't indend to wreck my life with a man who isn't free

You've got a good wife at home you know she's never been untrue

She's got the whole world of fate and fast and competence in you

How you can be unfaithful I just can't understand

Now why don't you go home to your wife and act like a married man

[ fiddle - piano - guitar ]

Well I suppose you wonder why I say the things I say

Well it's because I'm making plans to have a home someday

I want to be a good wife and never be untrue

And I don't want my man to be a cheater such as you

You've got a good wife...
