Negatory Romance

(Tom T. Hall)



He's wantin' her more than he's wantin' his wife

Buddy that's a good way to screw up your life

He sneaks off to see her when he gets a chance

That's a perfect example of a negatory romance.



Sneakin' in the back door that ain't no tempo

It's a negatory romance

It's a real break of breaker when your heart is a taker

It's a negatory romance.



Now girl don't go chasin' a man who ain't free

You know there are plenty of fish in the sea

So girl don't go chasin' whatever wears pants

That's another example of a negatory romance.



Sneakin' in the back door that ain't no tempo

It's a negatory romance

It's a real break of breaker when your heart is a taker

It's a negatory romance.



Slippin' around on the back streets of life

Changin' your handle for one cheatin' night

Slidin' off your gold band just so you can dance

That's another example of a negatory romance.



Sneakin' in the back door that ain't no tempo

It's a negatory romance

It's a real break of breaker when your heart is a taker

It's a negatory romance...
