I knew that you were cheatin' on me, baby
You were cheatin'
I knew that you were cheatin' on me, baby
You were cheatin'
I tossed and turned on many a nights in my sleep
Yes, I did, baby
Wonderin' if you were with somebody else
Those late night times with your girlfriends
I knew it was all, all a lie
I knew you knew you were with somebody else
How could you do me that way, girl
I knew that you were cheatin' on me, baby (I knew it, baby, I knew it, baby)
You were cheatin' (I knew you were cheatin' on me, girl, yes, I did, ooh...woo...hoo...)
I knew that you were cheatin' on me, baby (Why, why, tell me why)
You were cheatin' (Ooh, yeah, girl)
[Did you have to hurt me] What did I do wrong, tell me, girl
To make you wanna give your love away, girl
I wanna know, I got to know, baby
Didn't I give you everything you ever wanted, girl
Wasn't it enough, girl, or was it too much, girl
Oh, I got to know, girl, yeah...hea...yeah...yeah...
I love you, yes, I do, my baby
Baby, do I have to get on my knees and prove it to you, girl
Girl, I knew it, nobody told me
You were wrong
I knew that you were cheatin' on me, baby
[Who told you, boy] (Don't ask me how I knew it) [Who told you, boy] (I just knew it)
You were cheatin' [You would have never known] (I knew you were cheatin' on me, baby)
[You would have never known if somebody didn't tell you] (Yes, I did, girl)
(All you had to do was tell me) I knew that you were cheatin' on me, baby
(All you had to do was tell me) [I tried to tell you, boy, but you wouldn't listen]
(You didn't have to leave me, girl)
You were cheatin' (Girl, all you had to do was tell me you didn't want me, baby)
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
I knew that you were cheatin' on me, baby
(I can't take it no more, baby, I can't take this no more, baby)
You were cheatin' (I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, I knew, I knew it all the time)
(Tears is startin'to flow down my eyes)
I knew that you were cheatin' on me, baby
(I can't take it no more, baby, I can't take it no more, babe)
You were cheatin' (Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ooh...hoo...ooh...hoo...)
I knew that you were cheatin' on me, baby
You were cheatin'
