Cheatin' Man

Yeah, yeah

Honey, I'm a good man

But I'm a cheatin' man

And I'll do all I can to get a lady's love

And I wanna do right

I don't wanna hurt nobody

But if I slip, well then I'm sorry, yes I am

When I was a young boy

I used to watch my daddy play

And in my heart, I'd always say that he was wrong

He had to be crazy

Knocked stone cold outta his mind

To be leavin' my pretty mama all alone

She'd always sit patient and waitin'

Then cussin' and cryin'

And who would have to be there to comfort her?

And I would have to look my mama

Right square in her eyes

And I swear that I

Would never hurt no one like that

Baby, I'm a good man

But I'm a cheatin' man

And I'll do all I can to get a lady's love

And I wanna do right

And I don't wanna hurt nobody

If I slip, well then I'm sorry, yes, I am

Now that I'm older

I've found it's time to settle down

Because I need some love around to make me whole

But somethin' is funny

'Cause things I swore I'd never do

I find myself fallin' victim to losin' total control

Oh, yeah, 'cause recently

I ran into someone who reminds me of you

And even though I know that kind of thing ain't right

I'm findin' myself caught up in lies

Tryin' to swim against the tide

And as the stage gets set for drama

I can't stop thinkin' about my mama

Oh, I'm a cheatin' man

And I'll do all I can to get a lady's love, yes, uh

And I wanna do right

And I don't wanna hurt nobody

If I slip, well then I'm sorry, yes, I am

Honey, I'm a good man

But I'm a cheatin' man

And I'll do all I can to get a lady's love

And I wanna do right

I don't wanna hurt nobody

If I slip, well then I'm sorry, yes, I am

Yes, I am, yes, I am

Uh, hey, hey, mmm
