My Affair
maccoll kirsty Lyrics

When I was just a child
As a child, my parents controlled every aspect of my life, which frustrated me to no end.

My folks would drive me wild
My parents' overbearing behavior caused me to become angry and resentful.

They'd spy upon my every move
My parents monitored my actions constantly, not allowing me any privacy.

Until it drove me to despair
Their controlling behavior caused me a lot of emotional pain and distress.

They told me what to wear
My parents made decisions about my clothing, taking away my ability to express myself through fashion.

They told me not to cut my hair
My parents didn't allow me to style my own hair, making me feel like I had no control over my appearance.

But that's all over now
I've grown up and gained independence from my parents' control.

I had to tell them anyhow
I had to reveal my true self to my parents, regardless of any negative consequences.

It's my affair
My choices and actions are my own responsibility and no one else's.

Where I go and what I do
I have the freedom to go wherever I want and do whatever I please.

It's up to me and not to you
Nobody else has the right to dictate my life or make decisions for me.

That's the way I want to keep it
I value my independence and intend to maintain control over my own life.

I kissed the boy in secret
I had a secret romantic encounter with someone I wasn't supposed to be involved with.

Thrilled me to the very core
The experience was extremely exciting and emotionally impactful.

I couldn't stop I wanted more
I was so enamored with the experience that I wanted to keep going.

And I didn't hear the door
I was so caught up in the moment that I didn't realize someone was coming into the room.

They caught me on the floor
My secret encounter was discovered by someone else.

We used to stay in bed
When my partner and I were first together, we would spend all our time in bed.

All day and night all night and day
Our passion for each other consumed us and we didn't want to do anything else.

We bedded half our lives away
We spent so much time together in bed, it felt like it became our permanent address.

We move in higher circles
We've moved up in the world and now associate with more elite social circles.

Chomping through the upper crust
We've made it to the top and enjoy the privileges of high society.

I couldn't see you for the dust
You were left behind in the wake of my success.

And then you met that girl
You moved on and found someone else.

Who left you with your money spent
Your new partner has drained your finances.

And now it's no concern of yours
Your financial struggles are no longer my responsibility or problem.

If I sleep with the President
I have the freedom to become involved with anyone I choose, regardless of their status or position.

And if I don't come home tonight
I have the liberty to choose where I spend my nights, without answering to anyone.

Who I see is up to me
It's my decision who I spend time with and who I involve myself with romantically.

Hiding in the parking lot
I have to be secretive about my romantic encounters to avoid scrutiny or judgment.

If the phone should ring and
If someone tries to reach me through a phone call,

There's no one there
And nobody answers the call,

Then it's my affair
It's not anyone else's concern why I didn't answer the phone or who I was with at the time.

Eso es asunto de ella
This is her matter,

Donde va why lo que hare
Where she goes and what she does.

You've seen the last of me
Our relationship is officially over and you won't have to deal with me again.

And I don't have to put up with you
I'm glad to be free of your controlling behavior.

Giving me the third degree
Questioning me relentlessly and intrusively.

So you go on your way
You can continue living your life without me.

And don't come sneaking round the back door
I don't want you trying to re-enter my life without my consent or knowledge.

Trying to get yourself involved
Attempting to insert yourself into my personal affairs and decisions.

In my affairs no more
You are not welcome to be a part of my private life anymore.
