Bjork - Short Term Affair lyrics

It's a short term affair you're my children's au-pair but I just couldn't bear to keep my hands off you I was barely eighteen what you did was obscene but to me it felt clean what else was I to do? The memory still lingers you're cooking the kids fish-fingers and ironing Each morning you'd come down in your paisley dressing gown then you'd sing and the yearning started for a Short term affair no intention to stray I was caught in your snare but my wife was away it was so debonair so I thought what the hey I knew I couldn't resist It was a short term affair you're the man, you're the boss when I found you right there like the father I lost cleaning our silver-ware so to hell with the cost right then at once we kissed You took me to the kitchen your hands kinda started twitchin' I felt so shy Nothing could stop what followed lucky for me you swallowed every lie I know it's all over now try to be strong somehow I'll start a brand new life please, please don't tell my wife but I won't, I won't stop loving you please, please don't tell my wife au revoir, ciao, auf wiedersehen we must never meet again Short term affair
