#VERSE
Michael joked that his wife said he had two left feet
Now he’s dancing like a maniac, dancing with deceit
Marni told Mike her husband was a controlling creep
Now she’s out of control, dancing with deceit
#PRE-CHORUS
Michael told his wife he was bowling with the guys
Marni said she was at art class painting butterflies
#CHORUS
Dancing with deceit
So much fun
But what will they do
When the dance is done?
They’ll lie, deny, gaslight
Think they’re so discreet
But everyone who hears the music
Knows they’re dancing with deceit
Dancing with deceit
#VERSE
Marni told Mike he was “cool,” praised his “abs of concrete”
The platitudes went to his head, that’s why he’s dancing with deceit
Mike takes Marni to great dance clubs and posh places to eat
She loves all the attention, so she’s dancing with deceit
#PRE-CHORUS
Mike fibbed and said his marriage was deep in decay
Promised he’d get a ring to sweep Marni away
Marni joked that she’d be ready once she dumped her ball and chain
Called her man a drunk loser, glued to video games
#CHORUS
Dancing with deceit
Started off making sense
Till Mike ran out her back door naked
And hopped over the fence
Marni’s husband came home early
So, Mike made a quick retreat
Had his clothes under his arms
Put them on by the creek
#CHORUS
Marni straight-faced told her husband
No one had been there
Then he found a pair of men’s socks
By his reclining chair
She finally confessed when he turned up the heat
And he sneered that she would pay
For dancing with deceit
#INSTRUMENTAL

#BRIDGE
And now Marni feels naked in divorce court
The judge glares at her for being the cheating sort
But her husband stands tall, a loving father filled with pride
While her tales of a ‘drunken slob’ are publicly denied
#BRIDGE
Across town at the same time, happening in reverse
Michael’s soon-to-be ex-wife was filling her purse
Cause their divorce judge saw right through Michael’s lies
Gave his wife most of his money and most of their kid’s time
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
Now it’s ten years later, Mike and Marni are wed
Their kids blocked them as payback for disaster they spread
But M and M have kids together, their “do-over family”
Their online posts look soooo happy, but it’s all make-believe
#PRE-CHORUS
Cause when it comes to cheaters, history will repeat
And both of them keep slinking off—dancing with deceit
#CHORUS
Dancing with deceit
So much fun
But what will they do
When this new dance is done?
They’ll lie, deny, gaslight
Think they’re so discreet
But everyone who hears the music
Knows they’re dancing with deceit
#OUTRO
They’ll keep dancing with new partners
Cause it’s in their blood to cheat
And each dance gives them what they deserve
Dancing with deceit
Dancing with deceit
Dancing with deceit
