I'M BETTIN'

by Bruce Daigrepont
(Bayou Pon Pon, ASCAP-Happy Valley Music, BMI)
from Coeur Des Cajuns on Rounder Records (#6026)

I'M BETTIN'

Chorus:  Well, I'm bettin' you're gettin'
              Tired of his night steppin'
              Skirt chasin' floor pacin'   
              Lonely nights alone
              He had you believing
              Appearance is deceiving
              'Cause he's always leaving
              A good little woman at home

He's faking alibis
He's making up lies
You can't believe a word he'll say
He took my wife
They ruined my life
And they went on their way
The grass was alsways greener baby
On the other side
But this boy's a guessin'
That you learned a lesson
And you'll be gettin' wise

Chorus

Il a après mentir
Il a après s'vanter
Tu peux pas croire un mot il dit
Ma femme et lui, ils sont partis
C'est eux autres qu' a ruiné ma vie
L'herbe était plus verde d' l'autre côté d'la barrière
C'est ça ma femme croyait
Mais j'ai pas né hier
J'connais quoi il va faire
C'est tout après d'venir clair

Chorus

Abusing and using
Totally confusing
He changes from day to day
Once you were mine
Then you fell for his line
And the two of you ran away
birds of a feather
Always flock together
And baby you're two of a kind
But it's a one-way street
Where the ends never meet
And you're heading for a dead-end sign.

Chorus

I'M BETTIN'

Chorus:  Well, I'm bettin' you're gettin'
              Tired of his night steppin'
              Skirt chasin' floor pacin'   
              Lonely nights alone
              He had you believing
              Appearance is deceiving
              'Cause he's always leaving
              A good little woman at home

He's faking alibis
He's making up lies
You can't believe a word he'll say
He took my wife
They ruined my life
And they went on their way
The grass was alsways greener baby
On the other side
But this boy's a guessin'
That you learned a lesson
And you'll be gettin' wise

Chorus

He is lying
He is bragging
You cannot believe a word he says
My wife and him, they left
It's them that ruined my life
The grass was greener on the other side of the fence
That's what my wife believed
But I was not born yesterday
I know what he will do
It's all becoming clear

Chorus

Abusing and using
Totally confusing
He changes from day to day
Once you were mine
Then you fell for his line
And the two of you ran away
birds of a feather
Always flock together
And baby you're two of a kind
But it's a one-way street
Where the ends never meet
And you're heading for a dead-end sign.
