Turn About’s Fair Play
(M. Barker)

I used to mess with other women
And you’d always cut me some slack
I used to take your love for granted
And granted you would take me back

I’d always show up with some roses
And I’d come up with some good line
Like “You’re the only one for me, Babe”
And that would do it every time

Chorus

Last night you said you’d found another
You said good-bye to my dismay
The shoe is on the other foot now
They say that turn about’s fair play

I never one time saw it coming
I really didn’t have a clue
Looking back I guess I wanted
To have my cake and eat it too

I loved you but I also wanted
A little something on the side
I knew that it was risky business
But my lust would not be denied

2nd Chorus

You never ever miss your water
Until the well runs dry they say
The shoe is on the other foot now
They say that turn about’s fair play
