           Bm           E
I saw you Sunday, Monday
 D                     F#
Hanging with your man again
          Bm              E
You came back on a Tuesday
           D                   F#
With that cold-heart look of shame

Chorus:
            Bm       A
Oh I could love you better
 E
Better than you once knew
               Bm             A
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
          E
'Cause cheating's just a thing you do
                       Bm F#
It's just a thing you do

I saw you Friday, Sunday, ah!
Tearing up another heart
You came home a-crying, ah!
Why'd you take it all so hard?

Chorus:
You know I love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
But I would never cheat on you
Yeah, I could love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
Cause cheating's just the thing you do
It's just a thing you do, yeah

E              Bm          A
Oh, I've been tortured baby

Girl you done something so bad to me
And I know

You are the one who's cheating,

But if you're heart is beating,
Bring it on, bring it to me.

You know I love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
But I would never cheat on you
Yeah, I could love you better

And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
Cause cheating's just the thing you do
It's just a thing you do, yeah

Do, no, no, no, no!
No, no! Uh!
You gotta, gotta, cheat!
No...
