The Adultress

I'm the adulteress

I didn't want to be

And I'm convenient

I make good tea

I stand accused

Of the worst crime in history

That's my mystery

I'm the adulteress

I go to the park

With a bag of crumbs for the birds

That's where we meet

Without words

He takes my hand

And stares into the wood

There's nothing to understand

It's understood

I'm the adulteress

Look at the fool

Made up to go out

She's desperate now, I know

But she's puttin' it about

(Look at the spinster) Look at the spinster

Comin' down off the shelf

(She's in love) She's in love

And she hates herself

Don't try to stop me

Don't get in my way

It's too late

I've made my play

Does misery love company?

I'll be in the bar

You'll find me
