You love to put me down each time
You're out with your girlfriends
They ask you if I treat you bad
You say that all depends
Well, don't you know they realize
That you've been slipping round
They know how you carry on
When I go out of town
You've got no room to criticize
With words you know will hurt
I'm still counting lipstick stains
On your dirty shirt
People pass me on the street
And shake their heads in pity
While I wait at home you've got
A girl in ever city
Yes, I'll admit it
What you say is true
But I only run around
Because you do it too
If we could have what we once had
How happy we could be
I won't cheat again on you
If you won't cheat on me
You'll never know how many nights
I've stayed awake and cried
Ashamed of what I did to you
And feeling sick inside
Now I can walk away from him
Without a backward glance
I'm grateful that you're big enough
To give me a second chance
Now many nights in many towns
I've wrestled with the blues
I never found the nighttime girl
Who could fill your shoes
How I wish I'd swallowed pride
And come to you before
You'll never find another man
Who could love you more
Yes, I'll admit it
What you say is true
But I only run around
Because you did it too
If we could have what we once had
How happy we could be
I won't cheat again on you
If you won't cheat on me
I won't cheat again on you
If you won't cheat on me
