Cheatin' is a thing that starts when you bring
|
Two lonely people face to face with a brand new kiss
|
She blames him he blames her
|
But neither one is ever quite sure which way it really is
|
And all of the time in the back of their minds
|
They know they're gonna have to lie bout where they've been
|
Cheatin' is a thing that'll take a little ring
|
And break it into pieces that'll never go back again
|
|
Cheatin' is the part of lovin' that starts
|
When true love isn't what lovers are looking for
|
A stranger here a stranger there then you turn around and swear
|
That you'll never go back for more
|
And lying at night when you're holding him tight
|
Is sometimes that a cheater's heart just has to learn
|
Cheatin' is a thing that's guaranteed to bring
|
Two unhappy people to the point of no return
|
[ guitar + steel ]
|
The worst of cheatin' is the sad little kids
|
Hangin' in the middle while mommie and daddy choose
|
Cheatin' is a game where nobody wins
|
But the ones that aren't big enough to play are the ones who lose
|
