Put A Little Aside lyrics

five times a year I'll return
with a fake pay package 
that I didn't earn
it's the benefits and little bits 
I make sure I've got
I'm the one who works the oil rigs
but really I'm not

I've got a wife and kid 
on the lower estate
and it all started when 
I won a bet with my mate
he said you couldn't get her 
I said I can
I kissed her at the bar 
and this affair began so

each time you make a little money
put a little aside for me
so I can love you better
when you come home to me you gotta
each time I make a little money
I'll put a little aside for you
so I can love you better
when I come home to you

two years down the line
I've got it worked out
I've got a shift in the summer
and the winter left out
my wife thinks I'm crazy 
cause I work all my time
but she doesn't even notice 
or even realize

but one day I must choose between 
my love and affair
and I don't think I've got the guts
I ain't got the nerve
it's such a hard decision 
to make me choose one
But what they don't know 
won't hurt them
so I'll just carry on and

each time you make a little money
put a little aside for me
so I can love you better
when you come home to me you gotta
each time I make a little money
I'll put a little aside for you
so I can love you better
when I come home to you

I've got a wife and kid 
on the lower estate
and it all started when 
I won a bet with my mate
he said you couldn't get her 
I said I can
I kissed her at the bar 
and this affair began so

each time you make a little money
put a little aside for me
so I can love you better
when you come home to me you gotta
each time I make a little money
I'll put a little aside for you

each time I make a little money
I'll put a little aside for you
