Cheatin' Is

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
