Tekster: Tom T. Hall. Negatory Romance.

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 10-4
It's a negatory romance
It's a real breaker maker 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 10-4
It's a negatory romance
It's a real breaker maker 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 10-4
It's a negatory romance
It's a real breaker maker when your heart is a taker
It's a negatory romance
