Cheating is a thing that starts when you bring Two lonely people face to face with a brand new kiss She blames him he blames her But neither one is ever quite sure which way it really is And all of the time in the back of their minds They know they're gonna have to lie bout where they've been Cheating is a thing that'll take a little ring And break it into pieces that'll never go together again Cheating is the part of loving 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 lying at night when you're holding him tight Is sometimes that a cheater's heart just has to learn Cheating is a thing that's guaranteed to bring Two unhappy people to the point of no return The worst of cheating is the sad little kids Hanging in the middle while mommy and daddy choose Cheating is a game where nobody wins And the ones that aren't big enough to play are the ones who lose
