Slippin' Around
"Slippin' Around" is a song written and recorded by Floyd Tillman in 1949. The most popular recording was a cover version by Margaret Whiting and Jimmy Wakely which reached number one on the Retail Folk (Country) Best Sellers chart. It is a song about a person cheating on his/her spouse.
Tillman wrote a follow-up song, the same year, with essentially the same melody, called "I'll Never Slip Around Again" in which the cheater has married the one that he/she cheated with, and is in turn worried that he/she is being cheated on. Tillman, as well as Whiting and Wakely, recorded this song as well, as did Doris Day.

Slippin' Around
by: Ernest TubbSeems I always have to slip around to be with you my dear
Slippin' around afraid we'd might be found
I know I can't forget you and I've got to have you near
But we'll just have to slip around and live in constant fear
Though you're tied up with someone else and I'm all tied up too
I know I've made mistakes dear but I'm so in love with you
I hope someday I'll find a way to bring you back with me
Then I won't have to slip around to have our company
