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 and blames her
But neither one is ever quite sure which way it is

And all of the time in the back of their minds
They know they're gonna have to lie about where they've been
Cheatin' is a thing that'll make 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 layin' at night when you're holdin' her 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

But the worst of cheatin' is the sad little kids
Hangin' in the middle while mommy and daddy choose
Cheatin' is a game where nobody wins
And the ones that aren't big enough to play are the ones who lose
