My earlier comment stands Dom....if you want to go this route, no affairs and such...you'll wrestle a gorilla, figh in a UFC (?) rig etc...face down a charging lion...
But you having an affair means you deserve every ounce of licking, shunning etc ..
Dunno...maybe I just don't get it
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop

Dunno...maybe I just don't get it You probably dont get this angle, because yiu are happily married, and think its wrong to write such a thing. Most of the time I write in character, based on my self. Ive already played this same song in bars, and the Lorena bobbit line brought the house down every time, and the song was received well. Its not the Brady bunch, envision the allman brothers doing this Its still fun enough not to be overbearing It works in the blues format, its not a pop song. If youd like to use my hook, and write how it should be done, ill listen to it. I cant help but think it will be cornball though

A little musical education lesson.
Yes, cheating is one of the most foundational themes in blues music. Blues songs frequently explore infidelity from every angle, including husbands cheating on their wives, wives cheating on their husbands, and the perspective of the "other woman" or "back door man".
Common Cheating Themes in the BluesThe "Two-Timing" Spouse: Many songs focus on the pain of betrayal, where a singer recounts discovering their husband or wife has been unfaithful.The Other Man/Woman: Artists like Howlin’ Wolf famously sang about the "back door man," a figure who sneaks into a house to see a married woman while her husband is away.
Similarly, soul-blues singers like Denise LaSalle made waves with hits like "Your Husband Is Cheating On Us," which tackles the perspective of women finding out they are sharing the same man.Revenge and Confrontation:
Unlike modern pop or country songs where cheating is often met with guilt, blues songs frequently boast about affairs or threaten violent revenge on the cheater.

Mistress? give me a break ,says Ben lolll.
Blues music has a rich tradition of storytelling that deals with infidelity. Mistress or "other woman" songs often fall into two distinct categories: the scorned wife addressing the mistress, and the mistress proudly declaring her relationship.The following songs capture these complex dynamics:The Mistress's PerspectiveThese songs tell the story from the point of view of the "other woman," exploring the emotional gray areas of being with someone else’s partner."I'll Be the Other Woman" by The Soul Children: A classic, soulful blues/R&B track that perfectly explains accepting the "number two" spot, provided there are boundaries and strict exclusivity."The Other Woman" by Nina Simone: Though jazz-influenced, this iconic bluesy standard tells the tale of a mistress who is always perfectly manicured, has fresh-cut flowers, and enchants her partner in ways his wife cannot."Mistress Blues" by Eddie Taylor Jr.: A classic guitar-driven blues song that speaks directly to the dynamic of keeping a mistress.The Wife Addressing the MistressThese tracks feature the cheated-on spouse confronting the mistress directly, demanding that she back off."Woman to Woman" by Shirley Brown: Perhaps the most famous spoken-word/blues confrontation track. The wife calls her husband's mistress over the phone to state her case and urge her to leave her marriage alone."The Other Woman" by Loretta Lynn: Country-blues legend Loretta Lynn perfectly encapsulates the heartache and anger of an unfaithful husband and the woman interfering with her home.

No Dom...I loved the hook, it drew me in, I think you wasted it though...but I accept you have a version you like...that's where it ends with me
And any version I might do\try would simply be different, not better or worse
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop

And any version I might do\try would simply be different, not better or worse I gave you a litany of reasons why it works, you still disagree. I should be given credit for a good hook, a tight flowing lyric, with not akot of space to do it in. Melding perfectly into a bkues structure, which you couldn't do if you didn't understand blues Adhering to blues tradition while still putting slightly different stamp on it. I dont think your version could achieve this. And be entertaining at the same time. Do it, and use same amount of words
