Cheatin' Is (2003 Remaster)

Cheatin' Is (Remastered LP Version) - Emmylou Harris

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
