Cheatin' Is - Millie Jackson

After that, she called up here talking about she gonna find her another man.

I think she got kind of upset because I didn’t agree with her.

But hell, I just told her what was on my mind.

MAN ON PHONE: You know I knew, baby.

I can’t imagine what you told her.

Well, I just had to tell her the way I felt about it.

Cheatin' is a thing that starts when you bring two lonely people face to face

with another kid.

She blames him, he blames her,

But neither one isn’t quite sure what she really is.

And all of the time in the back of their mind,

You know they’re gonna 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.

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 lovers 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.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Mmmmmmm, hmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmmm.
