Cheatin' Situation
EIt's a cheatin sitAuation
A stealing invEitation
To take what's not rB7eally ours
To make it through the Amidnight Ehours
EIt's a cheatin situaAtion
Just a cheap imiEtation
Doing what we Bhave to do
When there's no love at Ehome
EThere's no  pB7retending
There'll be a happy eEnding
Where our B7love's concerned
Sweet heart  we both Eknow
We'll take love where we B7find it
No we won't try to Ehide it
It's B7all we've got
And we know they're not gonna Alet us Ego
EIt's a cheatin sitAuation
A stealing invEitation
To take what's not B7really ours
To make it through the Amidnight Ehours
EIt's a cheatin situatAion
Just a cheap imiEtation
Doing what we B7have to do
When there's no love at Ehome
EIt's a cheatin situAation
BWhen there's no love at Ehome
