One You Slip Around With Lyrics - Jan Howard

I had the key to heaven when we married 

And for a while I brought you happiness 

But now your love for me is dead and buried 

And every night you share another's kiss 

And I'd rather be the one you slip around with 

Than be the one whose dream of love is gone 

Yes, I'd rather be the one you spend your time with 

Than be the one at home all alone 

Deep down inside I know that I should leave you 

How many tears must fall before I learn 

I think of many ways that I could grieve you 

And yet I'm always here when you return 

But I'd rather be the one you slip around with 

Than be the one whose dream of love is gone 

Yes, I'd rather be the one you spend your time with 

Than be the one at home all alone
