Cheat 'n' Lie lyrics

Well, it seems to me that I've been cheated

And it would appear that I've been lied to

All the promises that you repeated

Were never destined to come true

When I stop to think how I once trusted you

It's harder still to bear this doubt

I'm an innocent victim of heartbreaking circumstance

And I still can't get it figured out

'Cause all you did was cheat and lie

Now you're gone, made me cry

When my heart is heavy

And I just can't get it straight

Just the way you made me feel

A wound that only time can heal

Won't you take a little time

And show me my mistake

Well, listen

Well, it seems to me that I've been cheated

And it would appear that I've been lied to

All the promises that you repeated

Were never destined to come true

'Cause all you did was cheat and lie

Now you're gone, made me cry

When my heart is heavy

And I just can't get it straight

Just the way you made me feel

A wound that only time can heal

Won't you take a little time

You know you gotta show me my mistake, baby

'Cause all you did was cheat and lie

Now you're gone, made me cry

When my heart is heavy

And I just can't get it straight, yeah

Just the way you made me feel

A wound that only time can heal

Won't you take a little time

You know you gotta show me my mistake, oh
