I Should Be Criticizing Poem by Barry Middleton

I should be criticizing
for telling me those lies
but that's not so surprising
you think that I'm not wise

you ain't ever fooled me
I know you can be found
down there in that sleazy bar
on the other side of town

swinging at the honky-tonk
with a cowboy not a man
you told me you'd be back
just shoot me where I stand

I should be criticizing
but I must thank you too
you opened up my eyes
I know what you're up to

Chorus:
you evil cheating woman
you been stepping out on me
now I'm through with you
at last you set me free
