You say your everyday Is a bad dream that keeps repeatin' Baby you should have thought about that When you were cheatin' How do you like that furnished room The bed the chair the table The TV picture comes and goes Too bad you don't have cable How do you like that paper plate And those pork and beans you're eating Maybe you should have thought about that When you were cheatin' How do you like that beater car I think it's fair we traded Your pickup truck is running fine It's a cozy ride for dating Yes I've been out a time or two And found the comfort I've been needing Maybe you should have thought about that When you were cheatin' You made your bed And you're out of mine You lie awake And I sleep just fine You've done your sowin' Now you can do the reapin' Maybe you should have thought about that When you were cheatin' Now what became of whatshername After she spent all your money Did she leave you just like you left me Sometimes life is funny Yes I'll be glad to take you back Just as soon as I stop breathing Maybe you should have thought about that Oh maybe you should have thought about that Maybe you should have thought about that When you were cheatin' When you were cheatin'
