Well, you didn't think I knew that you'd been cheatin' on me
You thought that I was stayin' home while you went on a spree
But I've been staying outta sight and I see the things you do
I've been playin' possum, I've been a- watchin' you
Playin' possum, playin' possum, a-watchin' you
Seein' you do all those thing that I know you shouldn't do
But I'll keep hanging on because my love for you is true
I'll keep playing possum and keep on loving you

Last night I climbed up in a tree a-just outside his house
And I saw him a-chasing you, a-playing cat and mouse
Then I crawled up and went on home I didn't know what to do
I've been a-playing possum, yes I've been a- watching you
Playin' possum, playin' possum, a-watchin' you
Seein' you do all those thing that I know you shouldn't do
But I'll keep hanging on because my love for you is true
I'll keep playing possum and keep on loving you

Playin' possum, playin' possum, a-watchin' you

I'll keep playing possum and keep on loving you
