Billy Sheen has always been
a friend in my hours of need
So when he came to me with a little plea
I was happy to assist with the deed
He loved his wife and now his life
was in danger of falling apart
he didn't know why, he said with a sigh
but he'd had an affair of the heart
So I told his spouse he was at my house
and I told myself that a lie
is not always right but sometimes it might
save a couple from saying "goodbye"
It didn't feel right but I thought that it might
be justified just this one time
so I told my friend his deception must end
or his wife would learn of his crime
It won't happen again he kept saying but then
he'd ask me once more to deceive
I couldn't say no, it continued to grow
this tangled web that we weaved
Then one stormy day when I'd been away
I came home early to find
right there in my bed, what more can be said?
my wife and my best friend entwined
The loss of my wife was a shock in my life
and the loss of my friend was a blow
I couldn't believe that I'd been so naive
I'd never been laid so low
But after a while I found that the smile
had returned and my life could go on
when I'd told Billy's spouse that he'd been at my house
it had been the truth all along
And it’s rather insane for me to complain
because when my wife was with Billy
I’d been at his house with his beautiful spouse
so the whole thing had been rather silly
So I guess you could say at the end of the day
it had all been a bit of a farce
but try not to moan of glass houses and stone
it's tactless and lacking in class
