Arctic Monkeys - The Bad Thing

Do the bad thing
Take off your wedding ring
But it won't make it
That much easier
It might make it worse

Oh the nights like a whirlwind
Somebody's girlfriend's talkin to me
But it's alright, she's sayin that
He's not gonna slap me or try to attack me
He's not the jealous type

And I only need to get half an excuse and I'm away
But when there's no excuses that's much easier to say
I've been before
And all these capers makers to good for her to ignore
So she's talkin but I'm not entirely sure

Do the bad thing
Take off your wedding ring
But it won't make it
That much easier
It might make it worse

I'm stood at the side
And somebody's partner's talkin to me
But I don't know that is what she is
And she murmors things to confirm
That the tragedy is true
And I knew how could she not
She could have anyone she wants
And I was strugglin to think of an immediate response

Like "I don't mind
Be a big mistake
For you to wait
And let me waste your time
Really love, it's fine"
Said "really love, it's fine"

And then the first time it occured
That there was something to destroy
I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy
Oh but she carried on suggestin
I struggled to refuse
She said "it's the red wine this time but that is no excuse"
