Lyrics
Cheatin' Is
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 neighter 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 bring 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 laying 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
