A guy is rationalizing slipping up with his girlfriend/wife

Lyrics

Oh, sure you're mad at me today
'cause you always thought I'd change my ways
I didn't want to make you blue
(but) its a far, far, better thing to do

(Chorus)
Its a far, far better thing to do,
than playin' those cheatin games with you
I think that way down deep inside, you knew
it's a far, far better thing to do

Just think about how we've both changed
there's nothing that remains the same
Tho' it may be hard to get used to
it's a far, far better thing to do

(break)
I could have played along, pretend our love was strong
then fridays I'd be working "over time"
But I know that its not right, to leave you home at night
What really hurts is you'd believe that line

So ... (chorus)
(lead)

So, sure you're made at me today
and you'd like to make me pay and pay
but, you know, now that we're really through,
I do believe I feel I'm missing you

but...(chorus)
