           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
                    E
Girl you done something so bad to me
And I know

Bm
You are the one who's creeping,
 A/C#
You are the one who's cheating,
 E
But if you're heart is beating,
Bring it on, bring it to me.

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

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

You are the one who's cheating,

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

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

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