Well there he slumped on the barstool
Sippin? his scotch
The man I intended to kill
He?d draw his last breath Ten 0 Eight by my watch
Then I heard him call out for the bill
I moved in quick
Said stay where you are
Hands on the bar where I can see
He said ?no problem friend, but just who the heck are you
And what you you be wantin? with me?

And I said that woman you been seein?
She means the world to me, and I had to tell you man to man
Why tonight you?ll meet your destiny
That woman you been seein?
just happens to be my dear wife
But I?m gonna grant you one last request? then ? I plan to take your life

He now I understand and as for that last request
I?d like to buy you a beer
And then I might venture a piece of advice
You most likely won?t want to hear

He said ?I (just) DID YOU A FAVOR its you she really loves?
What little time I could spend with her it was you she was
Always thinkin? of
I DID YOU A FAVOR
No she don?t care about me
But if you don?t give her the kind of love she needs
She might take the next man seriously

Well he was good as he tried to outwit me
Had me thinkin? it was all my fault
He stunned me with thoughts
I have to admit heavily softened my assault
Now I greatly admire, a man that?s good with words
So I chose not to kill him just then
But as he was finishin? his thought
I finished it up for him
With a right upper cut to the chin

And I said ?Not Sir I DID YOU A FAVOR?
Maybe what you said was true
No matter what happened between her and I
How she get hooked up with you
NO SIR I DID YOU THE FAVOR
Cause Tonight I chose to let you live
And when you come to, I?m pretty sure that you
Will be willing to forget and forgive
And when you come to, I?m pretty sure that you
Will be willing to forget and forgive
