It's a short-term affair You're my childrens' au-pair But I just couldn't bear To keep my hands off you I was barely eighteen What you did was obscene But to me, it felt clean What else was I to do? The memory still lingers You cooking the kids' fish fingers Ironing Each morning you'd come down In your paisley dressing gown Then you'd see [?] And this yearning started For a short-term affair No intention to stray I was caught in your snare But my wife was away You were so debonair So I thought what the hey I know I can't resist It was a short-term affair You're the man, you're the boss When I found you right there Like the father I lost Cleaning our silverware So to hell with the cost Right there I was [?] You took me to the kitchen Your hands kind of started twitching I felt so shy Nothing could stop what followed Right before me, you swallowed Every lie But lord knows why we had This short-term affair Just a short-term affair Like a red Camembert There's a smell in the air I know that it's over now Try to be strong somehow I'll start a brand-new life Please, please don't tell my wife But I won't stop loving you Please, please don't tell my wife Au revoir, ciao, auf wiedersehen We must never meet again Short-term affair Ooh Short-term affair Baby, baby, baby Short-term affair Ooh, ah-ah Short-term affair
