VERSE
A friend of mine the other day was in an awful way
I asked what was the matter, and he said he could not say
Then he looked around for other ears; finally said: "Listen, here.
The problem, see, is crystal clear. My reason for cheatin' just got married."
First CHORUS
His reason for cheatin' got married
Now he can stop livin' a lie
His reason for cheatin' got married
He's stepped back across the cheatin' line
VERSE
"What?" I said to him. "I didn't know you were untrue."
What was troublin' him, he said, was that he had not thought it through
I said: "I'm sure it's heavy on your mind. What are you gonna do?"
He said it sure had made him blue; he just wanted to start brand new
Second CHORUS
His reason for cheatin' got married
How could she have done such a thing?
His reason for cheatin' got married
Now she's wearin' a big diamond ring
VERSE
When he left, I thought to myself, my friend he needs a little help
To find the words to tell his wife about his secret life
So I called him on the telephone to say that he was not alone
He said that I was right 'cause his new reason for cheatin' had just walked in
Repeat First CHORUS/SOLO/Repeat First CHORUS/TAG
Yeah, one more time he's stepped across that cheatin' line
