The Adultress - The Pretenders

IЂ™m the adultress

But I didnЂ™t want to be and IЂ™m convenient

And I make good tea

I stand accused

Of the worst crime in history

ThatЂ™s my mystery

IЂ™m the adultress

I go to the park

With a bag of crumbs for the birds

ThatЂ™s where we meet without words

He takes my hand

And stares into the wood

ThereЂ™s nothing to understand

ItЂ™s understood

IЂ™m the adultress

Look at the fool

Made up to go out

SheЂ™s desperate and lonely

But sheЂ™s puttinЂ™ it about

Look at the spinster

CominЂ™ down off the shelf

SheЂ™s in love and she hates herself

DonЂ™t try to stop me

DonЂ™t get in my way

ItЂ™s too late

IЂ™ve made my play

Does misery love company

IЂ™ll be in the bar

YouЂ™ll find me
