Emmylou Harris - Cheatin' Is lyrics

Cheatin' is a thing that starts when you bring Two lonely people face to face with a brand new kiss She blames him and he blames her Neither one is really 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 takes a little ring And breaks into pieces that'll never go together again Cheatin' is a part of lovin' that starts When true love isn't what lovers are 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 Somethin' that a cheater's heart is bound to learn Cheatin' is the thing that's guaranteed to bring Two unhappy people to the point of no return And the worst of cheatin' is the sad little kids Hangin' in the middle while mummy and daddy kiss Cheatin' is a game where nobody wins And the ones that aren't big enough to play are the ones who lose
