Carl Sims - "I'm Trapped"

I could listen to Carl Sims all day. "I'm Trapped" is another man-wife-girlfriend song but I love it. This man doesn't know what to do because he loves his wife and his outside woman; he knows it's not right and he feels trapped. Carl says that jumping in and out of beds is messing with his head. He doesn't know what to do....well, I could probably tell him what he should do. (smile) When you get a chance, go back and listen to Carl Sims' "I Like This Place" from my May 28 blog and the super awesome "Seventeen Days of Loving" from the November 19, 2010 post. You'll enjoy both of them.

I’ve got a problem
I’ve got a problem
I’ve got a wife and I’ve got a woman, too
And I don’t know what to do
I’ve been wondering what to do
I’ve got two women that keep me so confused
One brings me up and the other one lays me down
I need the two of them to keep my feet on solid ground
I’m sleeping in two beds
I’ve got to make it good to keep one step ahead

I’m trapped, I’m caught up
In the middle of a two-way love affair
I’m trapped, I’m caught up
In the middle of a two-way love affair

Now my wife is the first woman I ever kissed
The first woman I ever made love to
Whenever I need her, she’s right there by my side
And most of all, she’s been my guide
But late at night, when she gets in that bed
She turns her back and she covers her head
That outside woman, she spreads her arms

And opens her charms

She said don’t stop until you get enough

If you hold on tight and you can have all this good stuff

I’m trapped, I’m caught up

In the middle of a two-way love affair

I’m trapped, I’m caught up

In the middle of a two-way love affair...
