Cheatin' is a thing that starts when you bring
Two lonely people face to face with a brand new kid
She blames him, he blames her
But neither one isn't quite sure which really is

And all of the time in the back of their mind
They know they're gonna have to lie about where they've been
Cheatin' is a thing that'll take away the pain
And bringin' in the pieces that'll never go together again

Cheatin' is a part of lovin' that starts
When true love isn't what lovers were really lookin' for
A stranger here, a stranger there
You turn around and swear that you'll never go back for more

And lyin' at night when you're holdin' him tight
Something in 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

The worst is she leaves two sad little kids
Hangin' in the middle while mama and daddy choose
Cheatin' is a game where nobody wins
And the ones not big enough to play are the ones to lose
Cheatin' is a game where nobody wins
And the ones not big enough to play are the ones to lose
Hmm
