the story behind the song

This song goes out to anyone who found out they were in an open relationship after the fact. When my ex (a compulsive cheater) told me he had slept around with an inordinate amount of people during our 2 years together, it kinda killed my soul a bit. About 6 years after all this went down, I decided to tell this piece of my story. Rest assured, I had my ex’s blessing before I released it (update: we’re on great terms, but he’s definitely still a ho). Let me tell ya, though - getting cheated on is no fun. But writing a song about it definitely gave me some kicks!

lyrics

by Arthur Kody

Why was it so hard to stay faithful to your man when i am blessed this way? It seemed, every time I left the room was time to play - see if you could find another sleazy boy to lay. But I gave it all to you.

And every time that you did that - called up another bro for some fun in the sack - did you ever think about me or the knife in my back, with your name on the blade and those sluts on the shaft? ‘Cause I gave it all to you.

Every lie. Every guy. All the evidence that I found…(you weren’t even the best xxx-er, but now you are my xxx ex, sir). Well, you were a ho. Now, everyone knows. You shouldn’t have sucked around.

You had me right where you wanted. I only had eyes for you. You played me just like a fiddle. And you screwed them, but I got screwed. You kept on grinding up on it, ‘cause you only like what’s new. So, why trick me into a riddle where you screw them, but I get screwed?

I get it that you like to play. The problem is, I think I should’ve had some say in everyone you brought back on your lips those days when I was out at work and you’d jump on the chase. ‘Cause I gave it all to you.

You really put on quite a show. Keeping secrets for about a year or so. You’re skeezy and easy and lower than low, but it still makes me sick you slept with 30 other guys though.

And, every guy had their own lie. I could bury you underground. (you weren’t even the best xxx-er, but now you are my xxx ex, sir). But, murder is wrong. So, I wrote this song. I guess you shouldn’t have sucked around.

You had me right where you wanted. I only had eyes for you. You played me just like a fiddle. And you screwed them, but I got screwed. You kept on grinding up on it, ‘cause you only like what’s new. So, why trick me into a riddle where you screw them, but I get screwed?

Secrets don’t make friends. But, I guess your friends were your secrets. I’m just so glad to be rid of ya. And I hope you get chlamydia.
