Lyrics
CHEATING
When we lay in bed side by side are you dreaming she is near?
And when we're watching movies late at night do you you that she was here?
So why don't you tell her the next time you find your chance to go?
Cause you're cheating on the wrong one
your cheating on the one that doesn't know
When you start your evening do you take her to our favorite restaurant?
Do you gaze into her eyes and tell her she's the only woman that you want?
Well that's the way you did it fifteen years and three young children ago
Oh you're cheating on the wrong one
you're cheating on the one that doesn't know
Has she seen the pictures of our wedding that you show to all our friends?
And does she know where you go after all the acts of passion finally end?
Don't you realize she'll wonder when you tell her she can't reach you on the phone?
Well you're cheating on the wrong one
you're cheating on the one that doesn't know
Do you really think you're fooling us when you say that your love will always grow?
Oh you're cheating on the wrong one
you're cheating on the one that doesn't know
Yes you're cheating on the wrong one
you're cheating on the one that doesn't know
