about

I wanted this song about deception to portray a spirited and strong reaction by a woman when she finds out she's being cheated on.

lyrics

That Cheatin’ Line

You fooled me and you used me,
Told me a pack of lies,
All your fancy stories
Were cooked-up alibis,
You hid those furtive emails,
But your password’s not that strong,
So I read them then I changed the locks,
Cos all we had was gone.

You claim it was a one-off,
But my mind is filled with doubt,
You never would have told me
If I hadn’t found you out,
You say you want to stay with me
Until the end of time,
Too bad it slipped your mind
The night you crossed that cheatin’ line.

I thought that we shared everything,
From laughter through to tears,
But now I know the truth of it,
These feel like wasted years,
The time I’ve spent with you
Seems like a castle built on sand
Flowing through the hourglass
Along with all our plans.

You claim it was a one-off,
But my mind is filled with doubt,
You never would have told me
If I hadn’t found you out,
You say you want to stay with me
Until the end of time,
Too bad it slipped your mind
The night you crossed that cheatin’ line.

You’ll find all your belongings by the road,
Your laptop with those messages,
Some bags stuffed with your clothes,
You better grab them quick,
Cos you can’t trust no one round here,
I’m speaking from experience,
In case that isn’t clear.

If you think you’ll go on fooling me,
You’re just fooling yourself,
Don’t stand there knocking on my door,
Go bother someone else,
There’s nothing here for you,
No reason ever to return,
A fool for love’s a fool just once,
A painful lesson learned.

You claim it was a one-off,
But my mind is filled with doubt,
You never would have told me
If I hadn’t found you out,
You say you want to stay with me
Until the end of time,
Too bad it slipped your mind
The night you crossed that cheatin’ line,
Somehow it slipped your mind
The night you crossed that cheatin’ line,
That cheatin’ line.
