Cheatin' in the next room
Making plans to meet him soon
Talking softly on the telephone
Making plans to meet him somewhere alone
The love is no longer there
The woman of his heart no longer cares
It's best to call it quits and go your separate ways
Playing that cheating game only leads to hurt and pain
And cause each other unhappy days
Cheatin' in the next room (cheatin' in the next room)
Making plans to meet him soon
Talking softly on the telephone
Making plans to go out and do wrong
Cheatin' in the next room
Making plans to meet him soon
Plotting on the telephone
Making plans to go out and do wrong
Your kisses and your love making
You've been faking, you've been faking
I've been going along with you hoping you could still make it
Even though it might hurt me, i just can't be a fool
I'd rather step on my own heart and break it than to be used
(cheatin' in the next room) cheatin' in the next room
Making plans to meet him soon
Talking softly on the telephone
Making plans to be alone
Cheatin' in the next room
Making plans to be with him soon
Talking softly on the telephone
That's alright, i'll soon be gone
I know you're cheatin' in the next room
Making plans to be with him soon
Talking softly on the telephone
That's alright, i'll soon be gone
