Whatcha gonna do when your wife finds another
Takes the kids and the car and half of the house
Whatcha gonna do, move in with your mother
And spend your time looking to find a new spouse.

Thinkin' it over
It ain't worth the worry
Starting over to make a new life
Thinkin' it over
I decided not to bother
I decided to take my own life.

I'm on the ledge outside my window
The ground is ten stories below
As I look down, the crowd look up
Wondering whether I'll jump or not.

Whatcha gonna do, disappoint all those people
Or make a splash in the headlines next day
Whatcha gonna do, waste the time of those policemen
Or let your audience have their own way.

Thinkin' it over
I decided not to bother
I decided to take my own life
Thinkin' it over
It ain't worth the worry
I decided to take my own life

Whatcha gonna do, disappoint all those people
Or make a splash in the headlines next day
Whatcha gonna do, waste the time of those policemen
Or let your audience have their own way.

Thinkin' it over
I decided not to bother
I decided to save my own life
Thinkin' it over
I decided not to bother
It's too high price to pay for an unfaithful wife.
